I like this kind of architecture from Friedensreich Hundertwasser. It’s lovely that inside the building this architecture gets continued. The lobby, the corridors, the rooms, nothing is really straight, all a bit rounded, it’s a pleasure atmosphere. There it’s always warm and you smell a good scent and then you have the thermal bath to relax.
This hollow way with wine cellars is called “Kellergasse” in Austria. Each of these buildings has a wine cellar where the wine gets ripe. When the wine is in the stadium of a must there will be a wine cellar party with wine tasting in those lanes. 🙂
Nearly every time I have been in Salzburg it was raining on some days. At the visit on Mönchsberg my wife had to hold an umbrella for me, so I was able to shoot photos. But the good side of the rain is mostly fresh air and green, growing grass both I like 🙂
In Thal near Graz there is the most colorful church I have ever seen. It looks like a psychedelic wonder, the artwork has been done by Ernst Fuchs who is also a painter and sculptor.
Stegersbach is a spa where you can get an overall health package. Thermal springs, different saunas like bio sauna, herbal sauna, infrared sauna, fitness center and all kind of massages, with hot stones, Chinese … Breakfast and food are very good, after 3 or 4 days you feel rebuilt again.
The Wachau is a region at the Danube in Austria with viniculture where the grapevines grow on stony terraces, a bit like in the Tuscany. Around the villages are broadleaf forests and little hills with ruins form the age of chivalry.
Two different views of the same river, blue sky and with grey sky. Mostly the landscape around the Danube is flat, it arises from the Black Forest in Germany and flows into the Black Sea in Romania. It flows through 10 countries and is 2,860 km (1,780 mi) long, the longest river of the EU.
In Austria there is a thermal spring with spa und hotel called Bad Blumau. The interesting thing is, that the whole area and accommodations have been designed by the artist Friedensreich Hundertwasser, this is a real unique style and a real pleasure to have vacation there. No rooms or hallways are straight, all a bit wavy and skewed … 🙂
Maybe it’s a special “luck” I have, but I cannot remember when I was in Salzburg where it was not raining. Neverthless I tried the best to get photos. My wife held the umbrella and I positioned at a stonewall on the Mönchsberg to get the shots of the city. Good that lens and camera were spray water protected. 🙂
The Austrian National Library gives you many motives for photos. Wooden interiors, marble statues, ornamented pillars, ceiling frescos and shelves with tens of thousands of books. I wonder if those books have been read by anyone, but one thing is sure, they have been written (mostly by hand I think).
