Flower Seller on a Wet Evening in the Innere Stadt

It was a rainy evening in Vienna as I walked along Kärntner Strasse in the Inner Stadt. In spite of the rain and cold, I enjoyed watching people shopping and the play of light on the street. I watched a flower seller at his stand for several minutes, as people went in and out of his stand, looking at the flowers he was selling, while he stood nearby, smoking.

Innere Stadt is the central district of Vienna. It borders on Leopoldstadt in the northeast, on Landstraße in the east, on Wieden and Mariahilf in the south, on Neubau and Josefstadt in the west, and on Alsergrund in the north.
