Vienna's St. Stephen's Cathedral

St. Stephen's, or Stephandom in German, is Austria's largest cathedral. It's located nearly in the center of the city and is surrounded very tightly by other buildings, making a good exterior picture very difficult. Here is one from the Internet.

I did, however, get inside of St. Stephen's and arrived just prior to the start of the 5PM daily mass, so I had the fortune of hearing the gigantic pipe organ being played. It's too bad a camera can't capture that sound.

Here are a few of the pictures that I did take

5PM mass at St. Stephen's is underway...that's incense hanging in the air like a haze:















The secondary chamber, on the left hand side of the cathedral:




















After a while, the sun came out and lit up the church:















Outside the church, children taunted the pigeons that roam the courtyard. (I thought black and white just captured the moment).
