Capuchins’ Kaiser Crypt

Vienna, 2019

I have hundreds of photos of Vienna that I haven’t really even looked at. I was so overwhelmed by Vienna - on top of being injured and extremely medicated and the almost suffocating heat - that I could not even face editing and collating the bulk of the photos. The Kaisergruft defeated me. The Habsburg Death Cult was just so much, and so far beyond anything I had ever experienced, that halfway through I had to sit down and rest and stare into space with an advanced case of Stendhal Syndrome. I still haven’t really got over Vienna - but then, I don’t think one ever does really get over Vienna?

The lighting was poor, my camera inadequate and I was overwhelmed, so I apologise for the heavy editing and poor quality of these photos.
