We leave Brixen, Italy and drive across the Alps through the Brenner Pass to Innsbruck, Austria. What do you think this is?
Castles on the hill are a common sight.
But this is the city of Olympic fame and the structure was a restaurant above the Bergisel Ski Jump Hill built in 2001.
The city of Innsbruck settled in the valley between the Alps.
The famous Golden Roof, what a setting in this city. The band performed 100 yards away in the square.
Who is that photographer on his head for the shot?
Why, it is yours truly just behind the band. The crowd of people was quite large.
Travel around the world above.
I sure did enjoy the tour. Looking forward to more. What a neat place. Magnificent view from the restaurant.
ReplyDeleteReally breathtaking! Léia demands that I take her to this place, immediately! Well, at least some time soon... :)
ReplyDeleteGod bless you!

Beautiful. Looks like a great trip and a great place to visit.
ReplyDeleteOh what a world we have eh? The pure creation of God and then the part He made with the hand of man, all because He loves us and invites us to participate, all so beautiful beyond words. How fortunate to see these things.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great tour, Tom! That is such a beautiful place and your photos brought back some lovely memories for me! It does look as though you had a wonderful time! Have a great week!

Loving this travelogue.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fantastic trip you had. The shots are all so beautiful. The mountains and town a like are stunning.
ReplyDeleteI would like very much to be there right now. It looks so fascinating. I'm so glad you took tons of great photos, FG!
ReplyDeleteThese are wonderful. I love the shots of the band especially. That is one unusual restaurant!
ReplyDeleteI don't know how those kids could play in such a beautiful place... I would have been standing there with my mouth wide open! Great tour! Thanks Tom!
ReplyDeleteVery nice. What a trip that must have been. I really like that tuba shot.
ReplyDeleteSimply gorgeous. Another place on my list of future vacations!
ReplyDeleteRestaurant? For real? I would have guessed monorail station, or something even more futuristic ... but regardless, it's only a momentary distraction from the scenery and its beauty. It must have been a hoot to be there with the band.
ReplyDeleteGreat shots. Great place.

Lots of beautiful pictures from Austria,
ReplyDeletethank`s for shearing:)
Have a nice week:)
Spectacular views of snow covered mountains. Superb.
ReplyDeleteI'd love to try that restaurant! It's certainly not your everyday dining experience, I'm sure. You captured some amazing sights...I would love to return to Salzburg someday. So amazing! And, yours truly looks pretty good upside down! Good one!
ReplyDeleteThe view from that restaurant would be quite spectacular.
ReplyDeleteWow---that's my favorite place you have listed SO FAR... I'd love to go there... Did the band do most of their concerts outside????
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for these beautiful pictures.

What stunning places these are Tom. You are lucky it was not still full winter there.
ReplyDeletegorgeous landscapes and scenery!!
ReplyDeletethose castles are famtastic....all the photos are great....
ReplyDeletehave a wonderful day ahead...
The restaurant is striking, but I think I prefer the castle. Great photos!
ReplyDeleteThose are wonderful places you visited. I love all those old buildings and castles!
ReplyDeleteI did guess restaurant. Yea!! Nifty self portrait off the brass.
ReplyDeleteI'm just sitting here shaking my head. So beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThis post of yours takes me back. I was standing in the street looking at the Golden Roof 35 years' ago. Wow, has it really been that long? Fantastic photos and thanks for the great memories.
ReplyDeleteWhat memories this visit will be fore you..I sure do enjoy these shots.
ReplyDeleteThese photos are stunning. You are so fortunate to see such sights. We are lucky that you share. Thanks for that.
ReplyDeleteIve stood in that square Tom and listened to a band, also saw the Golden Roof, while having a beer.
ReplyDeleteGreat shots Tom.
What an incredible scenery. I thought I have seen the tower in one of the car commercial, which the car try to drive up the slop.
ReplyDeleteWhat a thrill it must have been to see that beautiful city in person. I will admit, however, that I didn't realize the lengths to which you would go (standing on your head) to get a good picture.
ReplyDeleteA very interesting resturant, but I'd prefer to dine in the castle. This is so outstanding, I've now added yet another place to visit on my list.
ReplyDeleteVery cute getting yourself in the band photos.
Wow! You have convinced me. I'm ready to go see the Alps!`
ReplyDeleteI've so enjoyed your photos-I'm glad you went on the trip : )
ReplyDeleteLove the tuba shots! Great reflections. All of them are wonderful.
