Austrian Springtime

 
 
Vienna, on a beautiful day - Mark W. Laughlin
 
 
There's been a bit of a delay, due to my being so busy this year,
but finally here are photos from a visit to Austria in May-2012.
 
The Royal Crest atop the Palace.
 
 
The Palce Tour is quite interesting, especially the "Kitchen Tour" which takes you through the areas where all the state dishes and silver for the massive state dinners are kept.
 
Lots of copper roofs,
and lots of churches in the city.
 
 
 
 
Lots of shopping. 
Local arts and crafts, as well as high-end name-brand stores.
 
 
I'd love a window like this to look out of at breakfast...
 
 
On the bus from Vienna to Salzburg.
 
 
Uber Salzburg, the lake area near the city of Salzburg. 
 
 
Salzburg is beautiful. 
The Old City perches high on a hill,
overlooking the river and the "new" city.
 
 
The Old City is a tourist Mecca,
lots of restaurants, shops, wonderful in the Spring.
 
 
 
Try Austria, whether Vienna, Salzburg, or further West to Innsbruck. 
Beautiful, accessible, friendly...most enjoyable.
