Day 6: Vienna - unnamed cathedral
Three things I love about this spot in Vienna. First, the cathedral is gorgeous. Second, as is the case in many of the places they were doing repairs, there was a scrim hanging on the front of the building. Usually, the scrim would be a picture or representation of the untouched facade. In this case, it included a cellphone ad. Nice! Despite what we sometimes think, this reminded me that we in the U.S. do NOT have a corner on commercialism. Thirdly, there were lawn chairs scattered throughout the park in front of the cathedral. You could just grab one and take in some rays. Fantastic!

This is the Votiv Kirche, which is on the Ring Strasse just past the Rathaus (city hall) and the University. It's in a new-Gothic style, which makes some people uncomfortable because it was built long after the Gothic era was past. But I'm like you; I like it!
