The story behind this image

During our holiday in Austria Liz and I made several visits and drive-bys to Ramsau am Dachstein.

Not only was this quintessentially Austrian village on our route to most of the places we wanted to visit, but it was a beautiful place to stop at in its own right.

Mountains, trees, quaint wooden buildings, it looked like a set from the Sound of Music and Liz and I greatly enjoyed walking around the village and surrounding countryside, bathed, for once, in glorious sunshine.

I was quite overcome by the kitschiness of the place, and I couldn't help but take some typical 'Austrian' postcard type photos, for no better reason than the beauty of the scenery.
