Description
The Art Nouveau facade of a building in Vienna which houses a greenhouse containing exotic butterflies. We paid for admission & went in, but it was a disappointment. It was much smaller than we expected & while some of the butterflies were very beautiful, we couldn't find many of them & it was so hot & steamy in there that my lens kept fogging up. I kept wiping it with my lens cloth, but a second later it was fogged up again. So no photos from inside. I'm guessing that there must be some technique or piece of equipment that would have enabled me to shoot in this environment, but I couldn't figure it out...
Please zoom.

Great shot of the outside
too bad you weren't able to get the interior shots due to humidity
I guess maybe you have to stay in there long enough for your kit equalise in temperature I love the colour of the oxdised copper.
Stunning capture. God bless.
What a beauty! I love that verdigris colour on the roof and the weathering marks on the stone. Fantastic composition!
I read you when you posted this, and you're at one with many photographers who've faced the problem with fogging lenses. What most say is, you have to make the lens the same temperature as your new environment. Photographers who do this regularly carry small heaters with them, to gently bring the lens temp down to that of the new environment, so there's no temperature difference (and thus no need for moisture condensing on the lens). It's all about equalizing. Of course if you have little time, you're out of luck: Waiting for the lens to adjust naturally can take more time than one often has...I sympathize. When it first happened to me---in a horticultural museum---I went crazy, as I had little time, and couldn't get rid of the lens fog...
In any case, an intense facade shot, where you captured lots of detail and lots of the mixed hues from decay, rain and soot too. And a certain graininess in the windows, which I like. The sky is very soft by comparison. And your crop, as usual, is finely balanced, and you know where to cut it off: The bottom part begins a new section, the top part hasn't reached its peak: You make it clear that we are seeing an excerpt. And it's beautiful.
