Salzkammergut
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hallstatt-Dachstein Salzkammergut Cultural Landscape*
UNESCO World Heritage Site

Inscription history
Inscription 1997 (21st Session)
* Name as inscribed on World Heritage List.
† Region as classified by UNESCO.

The Salzkammergut is a resort area located in Austria. It stretches from City of Salzburg to the Dachstein mountain range, spanning the federal states of Upper Austria (80%), Salzburg (7%), and Styria (13%). The main river of the region is the Traun, a tributary of the Danube. The name Salzkammergut means "Estate of the Salt Chamber" and derives from the Imperial Salt Chamber, the authority charged with running the precious salt mines in the Habsburg empire.

With its numerous lakes and mountains, the Salzkammergut offers many opportunities to take part in water sports, bathing, hiking, cycling and golf as well as relaxing around lakes such as the Grundlsee or Toplitzsee. The Katrinalm, an alpine pasture, is found near Bad Ischl. Typical Salzkammergut culinary specialities include dishes such as Kaiserschmarrn (cut-up and sugared pancake with raisins), Krapfen (similar to donuts) or Lebkuchen (gingerbread).

Large parts of the region were listed as a World Heritage Site in 1997, with the description: "Human activity in the magnificent natural landscape of the Salzkammergut began in prehistoric times, with the salt deposits being exploited as early as the 2nd millennium B.C. This resource formed the basis of the area's prosperity up to the middle of the 20th century, a prosperity that is reflected in the fine architecture of the town of Hallstatt."

Beautiful!

Hi Clayton

I believe the 'repost' option should be used if you are going to re-submit an earlier photo? I do remember this one before, and I believe I critiqued it before as well.

My observations here are that the exposure/ light and levels overall are good. With the exception of some 'dust bunnies' in the sky its beautifully clear throughout.

I do think the cropped foot of your mate is a problem, better to crop higher perhaps, or include his foot. And there is a sense that the horizon/ lakeline is skewed, I think a rotation of this shot of 3 degrees clockwise would make a big difference to that.

Overall not bad work.
