herrengasse highrise

We noticed that open house was happening this weekend – just before it was over. So we quickly grabbed a few cameras, and off we went to see Vienna’s first high-rise building.

The weather was glorious and we happened to be on the roof taking pictures just in time for the golden hour …

And for a bit of extra nerdery, I brought my period-accurate camera: Both were built roughly at the same time. And while my rolleicord art deco is must have been completed a year after the building was, they’re from different times.

Happy accident.
Double exposure because old camera does no thinking on it’s own :)
But I quite like it.
