In July 1972 I flew back to
Europe for the first time since we left
Germany in 1957. One of my many stops was the city of
Salzburg in
Austria.
There was an excellent vantage point that I found above the old town from where I took a number of photos. I walked there from my hotel which was in a newer part of the city.
There was an excellent view of the surrounding mountains in the Austrian Alps and a view of the countryside.
Then there was the view of the castle,
Hohensalzberg!
The image above shows a typical view of a street in the old town. Remember, this was July 1972!
I met up with my former grade 11 German teacher and we drove to the base of a mountain called the
Untersberg where we took a cable car (
Seilbahn) up to its summit.
I took a photo of her trying to make sense of the telescope and its instructions. Below is an image with a view of
Salzburg and the countryside through a break in the clouds. Salzburg was used as a setting for the 1960s movie called
"The Sound of Music" starring
Julie Andrews as
Maria von Trapp and
Christopher Plummer as the
Baron von Trapp. The film is based upon a true story but the real story is different from what appears in the movie. I hope you've enjoyed the photos! There will be more as I made quite a few other stops on this trip. - V
