Typical Austrian Mountain Panorama. The flowers in front are called Almrausch, literally Alpine Pasture Ecstasy.
The Gasthof where we had lunch and which was the family base for the day....
Christl and Oli....
Oooh, Kittens

Mountain Colors
Salzburg, 21 June 2003
After freaking out on the kitten, I had to take lots of 'my god, that is so gay' abuse from Oli.
Kittens are just great...
We then hiked on with Daddy, Mama, Christl and Dagi.
Just pretty....

Mountain Panorama

My mum smelling the Almrausch or alpine roses as they are sometimes called.
Butterfly on some flowers.... A bit dull, but using the Macro lens is always fun.
Christl, Mama and Dagi at the edge of the mountain lake in the valley where we were staying.... It looks as if it could be in the Scottish highlands.
Clear blue sky.... And a hot day....

Oli relaxing
Salzburg, 21 June 2003
A nice little Gaensebluemchen....
The view back....
But these white flowers sure look nice....
While we were circling the Lake, Oli stayed back, resting from his achievement of embarassing the locals in the face of Oli's carpenter abilities. The smile on his face shows that the headache had left....
