Fiaker in Vienna

As promised, I've added another picture of Vienna. On it you see the fiacre stand on Stephansplatz, which is a very popular tourist attraction. You can rent such an ancient coach and take a guided city tour. In 1900 there were over 1000 fiacres cruising through Vienna, now there are about 144. Sometimes I feel a little sorry for the horses. I'm sure, they'd more appreciate to gallop over green meadows. Another thing that is not too pleasant when passing by, is the smell of their stinky "apples". Then you better not breathe. So, just enjoy the picture - it's odorless!
