A sight worth its salt
The lake called Vorderer Gosausee lies still under a misty summer sunrise in our striking shot. This area of Austria was once known not so much for scenery as salt production: Unfortunately for many folks from the Bronze Age and beyond, they spent a lot of their time hunkered in salt mines rather than watching the sun sweep over the Alps. But nowadays, most denizens of the Salzkammergut region are lucky enough to ply their trades above ground, with the dramatic surroundings as a perk.
