Some Fall Colors in Vienna



This is on a mountainside in a little town called Halstaat, in Austria. It is literally built on a mountainside that runs right into the lake on the left. We took a train thing up the really steep side of the mountain. You can see the track on the bottom in the center.






Then walked the rest of the way through scenery like this. It was gorgeous. I'll just take the liberty to post a few more of my favorite secenery pictures.





The pathway leads to this tiny little village, if you can really call it that. It's a business that has built up around this ancient salt mine. We got to go down inside it . . .


Wearing these awesome jumpsuits. We had to wear them, because they have these giant wooden slides that you get to slide down, but since they're old and wooden, and there could be splinters . . . yeah. It was good to have some protection.
