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.
