Vienna was one of cities I got the opportunity to visit during my months in Europe. The highlight of this trip, for me, was visiting the national library. Setting foot inside was a true Beauty and Beast moment and for this little bookworm, something to knock off my bucket list.

My last photo I'm wearing my "I'm uncomfortable, there are so many people around and I feel awkward taking my own photos" pose. Which is basically how I feel whenever I take pictures in the public. Maybe, pretty please, one day I will feel comfortable doing this.

On the city itself, it was a whirlwind experience.
I spent most of my time just wandering around. It was shorter than expected. Isn't it always? And I can't wait to go back.
.Misha.

The last few post have all been about my New England adventure, well this was my last stop. It wasn't intentional, but perhaps ended up being the most important. I ended up arriving here just at sunset, tired after a day of driving and adventuring. I booked a room just for one night, right beside the ocean. I set my alarm for an early hour and woke to watch the sunrise. It was gorgeous. Then I went back to my room and got my tripod and camera and came back to take pictures.

When you're the one always taking pictures on an old point and shoot camera, you're never sure what you are going to get. The years of self photography have taught me a lot, as have books and the internet. But these have to be some of my favorite pictures I've ever take. The location mixed with magic hour -  I just don't know how you're supposed to beat that.

I should mention that this was when I fell head over heels in love with Maine, but that story is for another day.
