Our work was rewarding ... but getting a special reward was nice too ;-) - Julius Meinl Haus
Handelshaus Julius Meinl, 1899, Fleischmarkt 7. - Julius Meinl Haus
Handelshaus Julius Meinl, 1899, Fleischmarkt 7. - Basilisk
The basilisk, Schönlaterngasse 7. According to a myth, on 26 June 1212, the servant of a baker discovered a basilisk at the bottom of the well in the courtyard. He destroyed it by holding a mirror to it (looking into its eyes was known to be fatal). The basilisk exploded. Now I know where JK got her ideas from. - Basilisk
Basilisk in the Schönlaterngasse 7. - Jesuitenkirche
Interior of Jesuit Church - Cow with glasses
Bäckerstraße 12, probably 16th century. A cow. With glasses. Playing Backgammon. With a dog. - Aliens?
Some UFO lights in the center or Vienna. - Stephansdom

The plague column in the town square was erected in 1716. We see the Holy Trinity at the top, St Sebastian, St Rochus, St Jakob and St Florian. To fight the plague, the people were advised to isolate, distance and wear masks ... sounds familiar. - St. Francis Xavier church
The St Francis Xavier church was built between 1660 and 1665. - Schwammerlturm
The town gates as seen from the river side. The river is Mur, by the way. - Traudl and Franz

The town hall was built in 1485 with the tower added in 1568. They added the coats of arms in 1728. - The ostriches!
The coat of arms of Leoben is an ostrich. Apparently, they were considered as the only animals being able to eat iron. And since this is a mining town... ostriches are the obvious choice. - St Francis Xavier church
The interior is basically the same since the 17th century. With an interesting contrast between black/gold/white. - St Jakob
Saint James the Less with some tool, with which he had been killed. - Saint Bartholomew
Just Saint Bart carrying and knife and his skin around ... - Schwammerlturm
The tower was originally built in 1268 and rebuilt in 1615. The first time I'm seeing the tower with blue background, so far only at night and/or rain. - Leoben
A very intricate - almost fractalesque coat of arms. - Leoben
A clever installation in a mining town. Glückau' - Pestsäule in Leoben
Leoben had to fight plague in 1347, 1352 and 1716. In 1716 the column was erected in the town square. Maybe it helped as there has been no more plague since :-) The Holy Trinity at the top with St. Barbara, St. Xaver, St. Sebastian on the left and St. Rochus, St. Jakob and St. Florian on the right. - St Francis Xavier church
The St Francis Xavier church was built between 1660 and 1665.
