Really cool, a photo from Vienna, East

Photographer's Note

This year is the 250 years since the most famous Austrian ever Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was born. His 250th birthday is celebrated with a great number of event throughout the year in Vienna, Salzburg and other places. There are concerns, galas expos, exhibitions etc. And I believe that in Vienna there are more concert salemen, guides etc in 1800th century costumes than normal. It looks very funny when people in such costumes do quite normal things like eating a hamburger, riding a bike or making a telephone call. I have seen a number of pictures of this. Here is my own contribution to that. This really cool concert sales woman or the like at Karlskirche seemed to have stopped caring about all those silly tourist constantly looking at her. She had made it confortable for herself when making a telephone call. Full stop.

A fantastic shot. Great idea. Compliments

Hello Ulf... I think Mozart would love this shot! So irreverent and charming. Surely she is fed up with incessant tour guiding!
Would have been great to see even more of the surroundings, perhaps a tourist passing by...

Hi Ulf,
It's funny when modernity joins the past! The clothes are wonderful. A funny shot!

Precious moment, Ulf. You captured the mood very well with a straight forward shot, good colors set off against the neutral masonery.
On some days, they outnumber the tourists in front of the Opera and on Stephansplatz.
Cheers

Hi Ulf, I like this one, capturing this sales woman doing her own thang and let the decorum be the decorum. I enjoy her expression and the combo of 'vintage' and modern artefacts in her attire. Very good and direct streetshot!
Have a fine weekend,
Bert

HI Ulf
Great shot, bit surreal ;-)Bicely caught gesture, too.
Do you think it could be the same person as in my shot from Karlskirche: http://www.trekearth.com/viewphotos.php?l=3&p=838375 ?
Maybe not, two years gone by...
Best regards
