Photographer's Note
This is the renowned fortress of Hohenwerfen near the town of Werfen. From here it is dwarfed by the forbidding cliffs of the Tennengebirge mountain range. A scene from the movie The Sound of Music was filmed near here. The walking track to this area is called The Sound of Music Trail. But if you picked me as a big fan of the movie, you are sadly mistaken. I walked the trail because it has great views of forests, castle and mountains, and these are a few of my favourite things.

Hello Vincent
The hilltop castle steals the show here. Good sharpness and well framed and composed. I like the high vantage point and the triangular shape of the fg hill. Tfs!

Hello Vince,
So it was not the movie and the accompanying music that prompted a closer exploration of the beautiful Austrian landscapes :)
The fortress is like an eagle's nest in an impressive location.
Little can happen in the valley that is not noticed in Hohenwerfen.
The photo suggests that you found yourself at the same height as the fortress.
Best regards, Paul

Hello Vincent,
A beautiful view of the fortress on top of the green hill. It stands out so well against the hazy mountain peaks. Well captured.

Hi Vince
A good photo of this spectacular scene with the castle that I assume is quite large looking like a small lego castle.
cheers

Hi Vincent,
I remember watching the movie. Well, to be honest I may have slept through most of it. But sometimes I like to watch a movie when I know that it was filmed in an interesting location.
Fantastic contrast of the tiny appearing fortress with the enormous mountain range.
Excellent work,
M

Hi Vincent.
Wow ..... Impressive landscape with these high mountains, so beautiful covered with vegetation up to a considerable height on their slopes, the castle has an incredible situation on top of a smaller peak, I suppose that on the other side it is easier access it.
Wonderful colors in soft tones, superb sharpness and splendid clarity.
Very well done. I like very much.
Have a nice day.
Very best regards.
Luis.
