It looks like another one of those Christmas markets is going on. We don't have such markets where I live.

There are plenty of these in Vienna, and also some in my district. I know a few in Germany as well, but I've never been there.It looks like another one of those Christmas markets is going on. We don't have such markets where I live.
How about a trip to Europe next year, in Advent, to visit one or two of those markets, and try some punch or glühwein (this seems to be their main purpose
)?

Beautiful, but too cold for me. When I come to Austria (and it is on my list) it will be in late summer or early autumn.
More Spain (Gaudi) from 2013 with my old, lame point and shoot:

I know. That's in summer, so it wouldn't be possible to make a quick side-trip to Munich or Nürnberg, to visit one of them. Too bad!

Even more Espana? I truly loved Spain. Great food, great music, great people.
Oh wow sci! I guess we won't be seeing something like that for the next few days
But a change coming next Sunday. So the aircon can take a well-deserved rest

We haven't had a day that didn't get between the 70s and mid 80s yet. We did see one night dip into the upper 50s, but most have been mid 60s to low 70s - good sleeping weather.
I'm happy for those who like the snow and hope you get it, but I prefer it warm.
Christmas just doesn't seem like Christmas if I can't go swimming in the ocean.

You can go swimming on Christmas where I live; you just have to cut a hole in the ice first.

I spent the better part year in the upper peninsula of Michigan in the 1960s. Those crazy people (of course my opinion only) would get out of a sauna, run across about a quarter mile of frozen Lake Superior and then jump in the water.
Me? I couldn't put enough clothes on to stay warm.
It was beautiful country though. Snowed every day from October to June, except for the day they had freezing rain.
But this is supposed to be a photo posting thread ----- so ------

Hi Scifan.. - also a little snow on the ground. In Piedmont, North Carolina, a snow on Christmas Day is a rarity (maybe once or twice a decade) - below a weather summary of 'snows' for a number of decades - however, I found a pretty pic of the Wake Forest University (WFU) central campus after a light holiday snow (not sure the exact day) - downtown Winston Salem in the background - WFU is about 10 minutes away from our house.
