  • Image from the Vienna Opera House

    During our visit to Vienna we wandered by the Vienna Opera House. Amazing space. This fountain is off to one side.

    My wife and I were in Vienna a couple of years ago and took this photo. Love the statue. The name at the bottom is ‘Ferdinand Raymond’. Here’s a link to a Wikipedia article about him. Kind of a sad end: 

    When Raimund was bitten by a dog, which he falsely believed to be rabid, he shot himself on 29 August 1836 and died on 5 September 1836 in Pottenstein, aged 46.
