Switzerland and Austria photos

[icepixie]

So. Exeter's internet service wasn't playing nice with LiveJournal again, and as I'm nearing my space limit here anyway, I jumped ship to another album service. I will be SO. FREAKING. GLAD. when I can upload to my own server again.

Anyway. Head on over to icepixie.myphotoalbum.com for 160 pictures of Lucerne, 90 of Salzburg, and 5 from the train ride in between countries. The thumbnails are ridiculously tiny, for which I apologize; there doesn't seem to be a way to increase them to a useful size. As usual, you have to click through an intermediate size before you can get to the 800x600, clear version, so beware.

(A note about the Luzern photos: several of the ones from the first two pages are repeated starting on page 4, with actual, y'know, mountains in the background, making them much more impressive. I just wanted to show the progression from haze to clarity.)

Photos from Cornwall will be up at some point. Definitely not tonight.

*Sound Of Music Loving heart dies at the beauty of the pictures* I am SOOOo jealous of your world travels!!

I think that sign with the Saltzburg pictures says something about being careful what kind of position you put yourself in to rescue someone who has fallen through the ice because you might fall through the ice too. The sign below it says something like "It is forbidden to enter the ice-flat."

Thanks so much for sharing those pictures.

How did I know you, of all people, would share in my SoM geekery? ;)

Ah. That does make sense. Although I still don't understand what the ladder has to do with anything...there wasn't one anywhere nearby.

Thanks so much for sharing those pictures.

You're welcome. They're fun to share. :)

Hey, with DSL I'm finally able to go through a couple hundred pictures without wanting to injure someone. :)

Europe's pretty.

Oh, my. I feel bad for anyone trying to look at my photos with dialup--maybe at the end of the year I should make a "best of" gallery for people with slow connections.

Europe's pretty.

Isn't it, though?

Wow. Now I have to go visit Saltzburg. You know, in my copious free time and my extensive funds...

And the cow? From Chicago's summer thing about 5 years ago. They had them all over the city and all decorated differently. It was fabulous.

Yes, yes, of course. ;) I think I need to go back there at some point very soon. Like maybe June, if I have time and if my extensive stipend hasn't run out...

Maybe that was it. I think the tour guide said it was a Salzburg festival, but I honestly don't remember. Very...interesting idea, anyway.

Pretty... Makes me *really* want to get back there. Soon.

As for the cow - they had bears in Berlin, and Munich had... dudes that were the mascot from the Olympics. Kind of Saluki/fox looking things. They were nifty, though. It's more fun when they're all over town, so you start keeping an eye out for them and seeing what fun decorations they have. I've got a few pics - I'll have to make sure they get up soon, too.
