  2. A nice excursion for the morning.

    Sorry I've been absent for awhile. My internet connection went wonky and blew my Nortons out. Fixed now, I hope.

    @ Shadow,
    I left at the crack of dawn,
    it's a 3 hours drive to Bad Ischl,
    but it takes me even longer, because I always get off the highway at Enns - such a lovely little town high on a hill, with a 2,000 year history - and then I stopped twice at the lake, to enjoy the morning scene, observe the fogs lifting its cloak from the water and the early sun slowly eating itself through the mist.

    @ Barbara Martin,
    I enjoyed the rest of the day even more!
    Sorry for your computer troubles.

  5. @ Vickie:
    Thank you! :-)

    Did you see that you can enlarge the pictures by clicking on them?

    The weatherwane in the first image is the prettiest I have ever seen.

  7. That fish net is gorgeous...I don't know what it is about fishnets and the trappings of fishing towns.

  8. I agree with the Wanderer's Daughter, I like the fishing nets, the look sort of.... errrm, sort of... expectant. Maybe it's a Wandering thing...

    @ Charles Gramlich:
    I don't remember ever seeing one in that particular color.

    @ The Wanderers' Daughter:
    Fishing towns, yes, they do have a special aura.

    @ Wandring Star:
    They are all nylon nowadays,
    those fishnets - makes me almost worry about their afterlife.

    @ Sniffles and Smiles:
    thank you,
    my pleasure! :-)

    The National Geographic mention was quite a surprise. A nice one. ;-)

    hope your Sunday was a lovely one!

    @ Bee:
    Thank you!

    @ Andre Veloux:
    I break for kitsch! *giggles*

    I liked the verdigris and I felt a little sorry for the fellow, all naked in the cool morning air. ;-)
