#passthesenf: Vienna from above in 8 stunning photos, taken by an owl

They quietly go about their work, gaining access to places closed to us to take the kind of photos that amaze us – not only because they are incredibly beautiful, but also because we can’t imagine how they took them. The extremely talented Vienna-based Instagrammer, @fabolus_vienna, is an owl. And judging by the 10 photos below, the things above aren’t the only thing he has in common with this wide-eyed bird – it also seems he’s perched on the rooftops of Vienna most of the time in the early hours of the morning, or late at night:
