Hallstatt XII, a photo from Upper Austria, East

Photographer's Note

Hello friends and colleagues, today I propose this view of the village of Hallstatt taken from the lake, I discovered it through the photos of a TE partner. I hope you like it, then some letters about the villa.

Hallstatt / halʃtat / (Upper Austria) is a town in the mountainous district of the Salzkammergut in Austria. It is located near the Lake Hallst舩ter See.

Etymologically the name of Hall probably comes from the Celtic term with which was denominated to the salt, abundant in the near mines.
The locality gives its name to the culture of the age of Iron denominated Culture of Hallstatt
In 1997, the cultural landscape of Hallstatt-Dachstein was declared Patrimony of the Humanity by Unesco.

Until the nineteenth century the only possibility to reach the town was by boat or by narrow paths. The land between the mountains and the lake was scarce being this little land occupied by the locality itself. The access between the houses and the lake shore was made through a raised walkway over the attics of the houses. The first important road was built in 1890 on the west side through the rock.

Nevertheless in this isolated and inhospitable place one of the first human settlements was established thanks to the deposits of salt. Some of the oldest finds in Hallstatt date back to 5000 A.C. In 1846 Johann Georg Ramsauer discovered a prehistoric cemetery near the present site of the town. Ramsauer's research work continued until 1863, unearthing more than 1000 pits meticulously from the first to the last. Each pit was measured and drawn before and after excavation. This methodology of study of the deposits begins a new methodical way to carry out archaeological studies.

Commercial activity and abundance of resources allowed the development of a highly developed culture, after results of Salzberghochtal, was named the culture of Hallstatt.

There are to date no notable events occurring in Hallstatt during the Roman or Early Middle Ages. In 1311, Hallstatt became a commercial city, showing that it had not lost its economic value. Today, apart from salt production, which has been transported in the form of brine some 40 kilometers from Hallstatt to Ebensee through a pipeline since 1595, tourism plays a major role in the economic life of the city. The tourists say that Hallstatt is the site "of the oldest pipe in the world", which was built 400 years ago from 13,000 hollowed logs. The land is so scarce that at ten years the bodies of the cemetery were exhumed to leave ground for new burials being transferred to an ossuary. A collection of skulls elaborately adorned with the names of their owners, professions and death dates inscribed on them are on display in the local chapel.

Hello Angel,
Beautiful Austrian architecture and a slender pointed church steeple in front of a densely wooded hill slope.
I suppose you've taken this picture from on a boat.
The colours of the houses and the green slope are well reflected in the water.
A beautiful, bright and excellent sharp presentation.
Best regards, Paul

Hello Angel,

This is a beautiful village by the waterfront, with such greenery in the hillslopes.

Lovely architecture too. Steep roof pitch indicates very heavy snow fall yes?

cheers,

sam

Hello Angel,
An excellent composition encompassing lots of interesting architecture, which sits very nicely against the green background supplied by the forest. Very agreeable lights and colours and ideal sharpness.

holmertz (102800) 2017-02-20 2:34

Hello Angel,
You cropped this photo very nicely to create a background that entirely consists of the green hillside. There is nothing to disturb the perfect balance between the trees and the buildings. The laundry, parasolls and white parts of the main building are beautifully reflected.
Kind regards,
Gert

Hola amigo Angel.
Que bonito conjunto arquitectico, forman este grupo de casas, unas con fachada de madera y otras con reboque, las dos torres de la iglesia, completan muy bien el conjunto, que con la situacion al borde del lago y la verde ladera de la monta alli mismo, resulta de los mas maravilloso.
Un bonito colorido, que potencia la imagen.
Magn凬ica gesti de la luminosidad y de la nitidez, para disfrutar con los detalles.
Bien visto y realizado. Me gusta.
Que tengas un buen dia.
Un fuerte abrazo.
Luis.

Hola Angel,

You have shown us a very pretty location where the jetty and the boats create a very relaxed atmosphere.
The Austrian architecture is nicely captured with the tall, thin spire of the church well positioned in the frame.

My warm regards,
Bev :-)

Hola Angel,
an elegant composition that gives us a close view to a characteristic corner of the picturesque town. I like the balance of the architectural elements and the details, the way the forest and the water complement the composition and the daily life details, which remind us that some people call this place home. The colours are so attractive. Congratulations and thank you!
All the best, have a great weekend,
Ourania

Hello Angel,
This is a fantastic lakeside view, I like the rich colors and reflections. The colorful laundry drying in the sun is a bonus.

macjake (98456) 2017-03-07 4:59

Hi Angel
another very attractive scene you have captured here.
smart choice to leave the sky OUT, i think its better this way. the trees behind the buildings give the allusion the trees are protecting the homes, surrounding it.
you captured this with warm light, and even a hint of water reflections along the bottom. sweet shot
cheers
Craig
