Enjoy!
This landscape looks so soft – just like watercolors. It must be a great escape. Enjoy! And enjoy 2013 to the fullest!
ReplyDeleteOh yes, Burgenland and its grand lake is always a great escape!
DeleteLovely, lovely. I'd never guess this was Austria however; which I imagine as all mountains and pine trees. Just goes to show there are surprises to be seen in every country.
ReplyDeleteI could not agree more, Sara!
DeleteYour words remind me of a mountainous area in Southern Italy which looks as if it were somewhere in the Alps.
New Year's best wishes to you, Merisi. These landscapes show that blue tones and golden lights are not limited to the elegant city ways of Vienna.

I love the curve of the beach ending in that tall grass.
ReplyDeleteThe reeds are what make the lake so unique and are a great refuge for migrating birds.
DeleteGreat photo!

DeleteVery beautiful! The ferry look similar to those at the village we holiday in.
ReplyDeleteThis ferry shuttles between opposite sides of the lake, many of the passengers carry a bike, to continue their rides on the other side.
