Austria - so much beauty


We are only here for 4 days but have hit Salzburg (birth place of Mozart and home of The Sound of Music)....amazing...although we had rain for the first half of Day 1.....then Day 2 at their Lakes District....formed by the Ice Ice melt when glaciers filled depositions in the landscape and turned to water....and the water is crystal clear and slightly coloured with a calcium like green...large fish can be seen from shore....I am in love with this country...its simply awesome. The most stunning image I saw, we couldn't photograph as we were on an elevated strip of motorway driving at 130 km/hr ....then it was gone. They should put in a parking bay or something....anyway the pics never do it justice but here goes....





 Ceiling of the cathedral....the whole place was a piece of intricate art.



yep....this is a church

 The Lakes are kept so clean that the boats...even the big toursit ferries....are electric


 Every home looks like a Cookoo Clock


Italian restaurant by the lake....an uncommon luxury for us


 View from our front yard
 Noah at a marionette museum
Atop the Salzburg Castle looking over the city. I have left out images of the castle itself but it is an extensive thing and a must visit!
