Salzburg Photos

I took a day trip to Salzburg with a friend last October. I lived in Austria for 4 years without visiting this gem. I can't believe I waited so long! Salzburg is a beautiful city, packed with things to see and photograph. The landscape, the architecture - it's all straight out of a story book.

As you can see, the skies were overcast. I'll visit Salzburg again this Summer and take some pictures with blue sky backgrounds. Foreground: Salzach River, Middleground: Altstadt (old city), Background: the fortress (watching over the city). More Salzburg Altstadt photos .

This is the impressive Salzburg Hohe Festung (high fortress). It sits atop Mönchsberg (Monk's Mountain), overlooking the city. The views from the fortress are amazing - beautiful, lush fields bounded by majestic mountains from some points, and bird's eye views of the city from others. More Salzburg Hohe Festung photos.

Lush fields and majestic mountains, as seen from atop Mönchsberg. More Salzburg panorama photos taken from Mönchsberg. See also photos of buildings on Mönchsberg.

This is the cupola of the Salzburger Dom (Salzburg Cathedral), looking straight up. More Salzburg Cathedral photos.

The Cemetery Saint Sebastian, located in Salzburg's Altstadt near the train to the top of Mönchsberg, is worth a visit. Well-mainteined gravesites are packed into every possible space in this picturesque resting place. More Saint Sebastian Cemetery photos.

I received a heartwarming email from a good friend the other day. I know she's a Salzburg fan, so I decided now would be a good time to finally get my Salzburg pictures online. I hope she (and you) enjoyed them.
