Vienna Christmas Markets – III
A last look at the colours of this year’s Christmas Markets in the Austrian capital. But not the last of the photos from the markets. I’ve got another couple planned, with different themes, which will come up sometime in the next week.
Vienna Christmas Markets – II
More colourful images from the 2018 editions of the Christmas markets taking place in Austria’s capital this month. If you are planning on dropping by, most of these were taken in the market set up in front of the Rathaus. That one seemed to me to be the biggest, at least of the ones we […]
Vienna Christmas Markets – I
It seems everywhere you go in Vienna at this time of year there is a Christmas Market selling seasonal and gift products. It is indeed a wonderful time of year. I love the colours of a Christmas market, especially at night when the lights add to the brilliance of the displays. I must admit though […]
Did You Know…
… the snow globe was invented in Vienna? Neither did I, until I saw this sign on a snow globe display at one of the many Christmas markets on now in the Austrian capital. I’m not sure the display sign should be considered accurate either. I looked it up in Wikipedia, and I think it might […]
More Christmas Market
A “picture is worth a thousand words” type of post today. Some more of the photos I took last Saturday at Freiburg’s Christmas market.
That Time Again

Last year was the first time I had experienced this sort of thing, and I may have overdone it. I took in seven or eight markets – eventually realizing there’s not […]
Another Christmas Market???!!!
I thought we were done. After visiting six different Advent/Christmas markets there was no reason to see any more. Saturday though we went to Freiburg, mostly because we could. Our weekends have been busy, but suddenly we had a Saturday with no previous commitments. Plus, we had a transit pass which allowed us to make […]
Christmas Market – Heitersheim II
A photo essay for you today. If you need commentary, that was in yesterday’s post.
Christmas Market – Heitersheim
I’m sure there are other Christmas Markets happening in the area, but we have reached the saturation point. Maybe next year. But we did make one exception, for a Sunday afternoon trip to Heitersheim. It was a sunny Sunday, and the town is a five kilometre walk; we had been told it was possibly the […]
Christmas Is Coming!
Hard to believe it is a week from today. With no snow on the ground here it doesn’t feel like December yet. Certainly though, there are enough decorations and holiday festivities to get me in the mood. The main square in Sulzburg was decorated with a tree a couple of weeks ago, plus a sleigh […]
