Thanks for the interest!
The town was called Hallstat, in Austria. Its just about 1 hour train ride outside of Salzburg, Austria. I had heard about the beauty of Austria for many years, Some interesting history in Europe, my wife and I save up and go thier once every couple of years. We just pic a country we'd like to see. It's always a eye opener and helps us appericiate variety in life. Travel today is amazing, to be able to go half-way around the world in 1 day and see such contrast, that's one reason we go.
Plus that Gothic stuff trips me out.
One tour guide reminded us thier were no good old days thier. Life was pertty rough. In comparsion the freedoms, and conveniences we enjoy are much greater. This is a pic of Munic, Germany. It Was a scary place just 60 years ago. It is where Hitlor and his SS got thier start.
This city clock tower had, on the hour little dance figures come out, one was a victory dance for king and queen over thier enemies, another was, victory over the black plague. The Black Pluge, and the 30 year war, seem to be just as significant to them as WW11. Munic, was pertty much flatten durning WW11 they are still rebuilding sites, we were told the Germans knew they were going to be wiped out so they took pictures to arcive what a building looked like and then after the war rebuild it from the picture. So much of the old world look in Munic is a copy made since 1945. Interesting hu!
