I love going up on this hill...but I think my mom enjoys it more. She said she sweats a lot! This is the Gloriette found at the top of the hill in the Schönbrunn Grounds...a place where there are often lots of people visiting and picture-taking! (Mom said they are mostly tourists.) My brother (C) and I feed the duck with pieces of bread when it's allowed.

I don't know what mom's thinking she made me wore orange and maroon...

Tip from mom: The eye-level portrait rule could sometimes be bent. I love doing that playing with angles where the kids would look up or down...

(Schönbrunn Palace)

Mom and I arrived in Vienna on October 14, 2002...4 years ago and the smell of dried leaves is very dominant in the air. Dad took us immediately here, the Schönbrunn grounds which is a famous place back then and now. The emperors and empresses of Austria lived here and there have been movies shot in this place.

Mom finally got hold of a digital camera, one that daddy bought when he first came to Vienna.

The dried leaves at the background really says it's autumn...the wind was also a little cool then.

This is mom and I a few steps up the hill of Schönbrunn...
