When visiting Berchtesgaden you have to visit Salzburg as well,
it is so close, only 25 km away.
The Hohensalzburg Fortress you can see from far away.
Between the fortress and the river Salzach there is the old town.
No, not our bikes. We just walked, mostly in the old town.
Salzburg in winter. Not crowded.
Mozart kind of lost among those pick-ups etc.
Salzburg old town is totally decorated by pretty signs.
Gemächer seems the be THE local chain selling
high quality clothes, furniture and everything in between.
Several Christmas & Easter shops surprised me.
Easter eggs underneath the Christmas decoration.
Must admit, when I first visited Salzburg in the early 80s,
I did buy one of those liquor bottles in violin form.
This time got just a few Mozart Kugeln for a friend as a present.
I always thought that the original Mozart Kugeln were packed in red.
But apparently the real and original Kugeln are these.
It was originally known as Mozart-Bonbon,
created in 1890 by Salzburg confectioner Paul Fürst (1856-1941)
and named after Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. (WIKI)
make a break in that famous Sacher Hotel.
Check this, even the fast food restaurant has a pretty sign.
This time I missed my bigger camera, not happy with iPhone's zoom.
Posting this because of the colours!
My lunch in the Blauer Gans.
Buffalo mozzarella NOT with boring tomatoes but
with mango, radicchio and pasta without garlic.
This place might be an option for accommodation in Salzburg old town.
Contemporary art in Salzburg. Balkenhohl.
Well, well, well, where the hell was the woman?
An art-work in two parts
The German artist Stephan Balkenhol created two sculptures,
drawing the viewer's eye to two different aspects of his capacity
for sculptural expression and provoking confrontation and interpretation.
The one and the other
The sculpture "Sphaera" on Kapitelplatz is about nine metres high.
It represents a male figure on a golden sphere with a neutral expression.
This man might be 'everyman'. The same neutrality is reflected in
Balkenhol's 140 cm-tall female counterpart, "Woman in the Rock".
Neither figure tells us its story. They appear to reflect everyday reality,
and yet remain emotionless and anonymous. Balkenhol's art invokes
a great range of interpretation. His sculptures move along the very
thin line of recognition and doubt, proximity and distance.
Holy cow!
Matti & Teppo is a Finnish duo, brothers who started their career
very, very long ago. This LP is from 1982.
I could have bought it in Salzburg but I left it for real music lovers.
Schlager from Finland, totally.
The music shop "Musikladen "is in the Linzer Strasse.
Bitteschön.
