The home of the Ice Giants, a photo from Salzburg, West

Photographer's Note

This is the view from the entrance to the Eisreisenwelt Cave, the World of the Ice Giants. The Ice Giants are large ice formations that form in this cold cave. The cave is close to Werfen, in the Tennengebirge Mountains, and you can take a bus from the town to the cliff below the cave. From there you walk, then catch a cable car, then walk some more to get to the cave. You can see the walking track has a roof on it as it approaches the cave, to protect people from rocks that often fall down the cliff face.

The view is spectacular, looking out over the Salzach valley below and to the high Alps on the horizon. We seem to be very high up here, but the cave is only halfway up the cliff face.

Hello Vincent,
What a spectacular landscape in the distance, the mountains emerge wonderfully from the haze. The contrast with the cave in the foreground is great and it frames the view very nicely as well.

Hi Vincent,
Cave entrance gives perfect natural framing to this great Alpine landscape. And the path leading up to this cave enhance perspective. Lovely view with pretty extreme light contrast.

Hello Vince,
It is indeed a spectacular view. I like the natural arch through which we see it. BTW, thanks for the clarification on graffiti on the Tunca Bridge.

Hello Vince,
The covered path leads us well to the view of the valley through a cavity between two high rocks.
The clouds over the peaks in the distance remind me of snow-capped mountain peaks.
Best regards, Paul

Pozdrav.

Interesantan i lep pogled, dobar tekst ...
Lep ulaz u pecinu i priroda u pozadini, dobro pokazano sa lepim bojama, kontrastom, perspektivom i uhvacenim trenutkom sa oblacima koji dolaze i najavljuju promenu vremena.
Dobar rad, lepa fotografija.

Zelim vam sve najbolje.
