Snow is also water, right? Ice too. 
For this reason I take you for this Watery Wednesday to Grossglockner, one of the most spectacular places in Austria. First, the Grossglocknerstrasse, a place preferred by bikers, mountainbikers and trekkers as well. 
And then, to the Pasterze glacier, a stunning display of natural beauty. Enjoy!
What better title, for a post not only combining two favourite themes - benches & sky watching - but showing at the same time the wonderful Austrian landscape, the one that really looks like the images in the postcards.
So I hope you are enjoying your sky watching from a really comfortable bench with a view!
As we were riding to the lake, we caught a glimpse of this:
and we thought we need to stop here on our way back. Which we did. At first, frankly speaking, we wondered if we shoud pay 6 euros to go closer to the waterfall. After a short negociation, we decided we spent lots of money on other stupid things, so maybe this natural monument, as they called it, it is worth the money.
And then, the Fallbach waterfall (in translation, the falling spring) came in front of our eyes in its entire splendour.
Again, I understand why this place was for the druids, and is for many people nowadays, a place where the energies are being built up again, where the soul comes to union again with the body, in a holy-like communion, for the perfect benefit of the human who just stays there, in astonishment.
I've never been to Niagara. I can only imagine the roar, the force and the feeling one can get there. I must also say that this is the biggest waterfall I've been so close to. And I feel blessed for seing it, for coming close to it.
The water falls from 200 m high. The same hight of the Stephansdom cathedral in Vienna, they told us. The eye gets tricked indeed. Another comparison, of my own this time, the dam at lake Koelnbrein, that I showed you earlier this week, is also 200 m high. Interesting, right?
And then, as a perfect addition to the magic scenery, the rainbow. We found no pot of gold at the end of it, but the wonderful experience we had there is worth for sure a pot full of gold.
Autumn is here, but today was a really sunny day!
We are moving houses, so I am busy busy busy! From time to time, thou, I'll post some stuff... Here is a lady entertainer, dancing for the crowds...
Happy Wednesday!
A mix of pink and red, of flowers, icecream and umbrellas, in Heiligenblut, Austria. A beautiful place!
Perfect blue sky, and an unforgettable tour - we are back with the pictures on the Grossglocknerstrasse. Have a happy sky watching Friday, everybody!

At home, they bake the ginger bread and then "paint" it in funny colours. More or less like this building in Ljubljana. How about Hansel and Gretel?
Our Slovenian tour, as you might remmeber, took us to Ljubljana. And I have to say again what a wonderful city that is!
Another tours was on Nockalmstrasse. This was the pit-stop, for a niiiiiiiiiiiiiiice Leberknoedelsuppe... mmmmmmmmmmmmm!
I am not Slovenian by nationality, I belong a little bit more to the north-east (Serbia), but somehow, meeting this country, was meeting a part of me and my heritage.
