Schönbrunn Palace Gardens

flat trees and a sheet of ice

a pointy-eared squirrel! David Attenborough made us love animals of other contients…

…we follwed. he kept stopping to turn around and make sure we were following him…

…yeah, we’re still following you little squirrel. you are so cute…

…ok, we don’t want to go in the bushes. bye!

so, the Habsburgs’ lived here, and decorated their huge garden with all sorts of stuff. This is a rock-garden, and the obelisk, which is held up by four golden turtles

The obelisk has the story of the family in hieroglyphics, but at the time it was made there was no translation. so really it means nothing

this is how far we are from the palace

more backyard art. a roman ruin, but it’s not real. decadent.

this is how far we are from the palace

gib and a fountain of mer-people and mer-horses

the gloriette. built as a place for guests to take a break while wandering the grounds…
