The best adventures are those that contain surprises. There are wonders to be discovered by getting lost in the Highlands of Scotland or on the back roads of New England. There may just be a chance to meet a special character who changes your life. In ancient times these were sometimes known as angels.

Austria is about the details
There are some pretty, new buildings in Austria, but when I go out with my camera I look for the details. Austria is a land of details. Whether it is the small figures moving on the town clock, or the tidiness of a window, or leaving an old city gate in Innsbruck, the Austria that impressed me was the one that focuses on even the small things. The cities I saw were clean and kept. They were well marked for the visitor. They loved and nurtured their old central areas.
They have been over run by the Germans and the Italians and others, Somehow they have retained the best of each foreign culture. I look forward to the chance to go back, have a beer and some great food, and meet another group of nice people.
