Austrian Alps


With a chance of snow in tomorrow's forecast 


I couldn't help but think about places that are more suited to snow than we are. 


These photos are from the Austrian Alps. 


Known not only for their majestic snow covered mountains


but also their bluer than blue lakes. 


And yes, in case you are wondering this is where Julie Andrews sang at the beginning of The Sound of Music.


The area is also known as Salzkammergut.


The architecture is beautiful and varied, 


Swiss style chalets and quaint little villages. 


But my favorite photo was this one -- and yes that little girl was reading the book to the horse!


Enjoy.
