Austria - Blue hour over charming village of Hallstatt - UNESCO World Heritage site
Hallstatt, Upper Austria is a village in the Salzkammergut, a region in Austria. It is located near the Hallstätter See (a lake). It's a scenic jewel, a hamlet of hill-hugging chalets, elegant church spires and ancient inns all reflected in the deep still waters of an Alpine lake. Hallstatt's beauty has earned it a listing as a UNESCO World Heritage site.
It is truely wonderful place that should not be missed on any visit to Austria. I have (of course) taken its classic shot from shores of the lake, but for now I have decided to post view point from above taken during twilight. The village is hardly lit, so I really had to push the ISO as well as the exposure to get the city nicely lit.
Btw, you surely know that Chinese are famous for copying handbags, sunglasses, shoes, cars and now they decided to copy this whole village : news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20110617/ap_on_en_ot/eu_austria_copy_...

Great capture of a stunning place. This has to be one of my favourite parts of the world - so much beauty, both in the natural and man-made surroundings. Don't miss Wolfgangsee and Zwolferhorn.
