History in the making


This is probably not the first image of Vienna you expected to see on our blog. Nevertheless, it made an impression on us.

We had gone to take pictures of some of the grand buildings on the other side of the Hofburg complex, including several in the museum quarter and the Rathaus, when we heard drums and excited voices and saw a crowd gathered waving flags. So we wandered over and realized it was a rally celebrating Kosovo's newly announced - just that day - independence. Like I said, history in the making.
