Hallstatt Swans

The Ugly Duckling... Ah.

I counted 11 of them. There's probably more though. 

I won't say that I stalked the swans until one of them did this... Let's just say I kept an eye out. 

I love swans!  I want one.

The Band Outside My Hotel

I'm leaving dinner and heading up to my room when I hear this. So cool.

 

The guy with the boot of beer gave it to the conductor when they were done. The conductor is taking a sip. It was actually kind of funny to see this guy walk up and hand it to him. The conductor's face was priceless. I would've had it on video if my camera hadn't decided to die right then. But I'm not bitter. 

Hallstatt at Night

The Catholic Church.

 

Easily the most photographed angle of Hallstatt and for good reason.

 

Cemetery at night.

Lit lanterns on the graves. 

I thought it was the moon at first. It's not, just some light on the mountain top. 

From my porch.

Tourist Attraction?

What?! They have their very own schmuck? With a sign and everything? That's so cool!

Exploring Hallstatt

It's my hotel!

Dad, I know how you like pictures of flowers. Well, check out these beauties. I took this picture for you. 

Normally stuff like this gives me the willies, but this is kind of funny. 

Waterfall!

I'm sure the people who live here get sick of tourists pushing their noses in on their property...

...but it's such a nice garden. 

Quaint.

It's an Austrian cat! I wonder if "Come here kitty kitty kitty," is universal?

Take a seat, when it's dry, and get yourself some fresh spring water. 

Famous for it's Salt Mines. 

Carrying the salt from the mines.

I want a waterfall through my backyard!

Love the wood work.

Boat garages. Is there a technical term for that, cuz that doesn't really roll off the tongue. 

LOVE this tree!

Stairs to the museum. Kind of cool. 

The Museum is on the right.
