Goodbye Hallstatt

So long Hallstatt. We only had a few hours to explore the city, but we feel in love and think it's a magical place and one of the most breathtaking locations that we visited on our travels.

Thanks for a terrific day!

Although the skies were overcast most day. As we were waiting for our last ferry out of the village the sun started to peek out from the clouds and it was casting a brilliant light on the surrounding mountains and the beautiful See.

You know what this means, I'm running to capture one if not the best shot of the city skyline, a postcard shot of Hallstatt. I think this turned out well, considering I only had a few minutes to set up the tripod and snap off some shots before I missed the ferry. You can actually see it docked there, haha. Good thing I was able to scout the best location earlier in the day.

I hope the light at the end of the bend makes up for that house being covered in ugly grey material, haha. Man I was pissed when I saw that sailing in. : |

See the whole set of this beautiful location here, if you haven't already.

Please see this one LARGE, it's a must!

Thanks for all your comments and faves, cheers and have yourselves a great week!
Happy Monday!

    Very nice! I like the composition and vibrant colours.

    PS Looks amazing large!! Though I think the horizon needs straightening a tad. Or maybe it's an illusion...

    not the first time you risked missing your connection (was it a bus in czech republic also?)

    It happened a couple of times, but the time your propably thinking of was in Salzburg. The sun came out at last and I hurried to catch a shot of the city skyline before I had to catch a train. I had a lot more time then though.

    Just the sun hitting a wooden house.
