Salzburg, Austria



"Sunny" Salzburg ~ taken from our hotel room

The Salzbug Cathedral ~ 1628 ~ Italian Baroque 

There are 5 organs is this clean and white interior.
The decorative color is orange 'n rust. Unusual !
Soaring dome/230 ft high , with exceptional stucco work thru out. 

This attached convent is where "Maria" would have lived...
when she became governess for the Von Trapp children.
The nearby cemetery is most unusual. Can be seen below @ bottom of pic = appears as narrow shed along the cliff walls. Unusual grave markers.
We took the funicular up to see the fortress built 1077.
This is looking down on the Cathedral / right. Other churches close by.

Mirabell Gardens, with that fortress, in background.
