Hallstatt V, a photo from Upper Austria, East

Photographer's Note

Hello friends and colleagues, today I offer this composition of a sector of this charming village of Hallstatt, I discovered through the photos of a fellow this site. I hope you like it, then some letters on the villa.

Hallstatt / halʃtat / (Upper Austria) is a village in the mountainous district of Salzkammergut, Austria. It is located near Lake Hallstдtter See.

Etymologically, the name probably comes from the Celtic Hall term that is called salt, abundant in nearby mines.
The town gives its name to the culture of the Iron Age called Hallstatt culture
In 1997, the cultural landscape of Hallstatt Dachstein was declared a World Heritage Site by Unesco.

Until the nineteenth century the only possibility to reach the village was by boat or along narrow paths. The land between the mountains and the lake was low this little land being occupied by the town itself. Access between the houses and the lakeshore was carried through an elevated walkway over the attics. The first major road was built in 1890 by the west through the rock.

However in this isolated and inhospitable place one of the earliest human settlements were established thanks to salt deposits. Some of the oldest findings date from 5000 B.C. Hallstatt In 1846 Johann Georg Ramsauer discovered a prehistoric cemetery near the present site of the town. The research work continued until 1863 Ramsauer, unearthing more than 1,000 graves meticulously from the first to the last. Each pit was measured and drawn before and after being excavated. This study methodology deposits starts a new more methodical way to conduct archaeological studies.

Commercial activity and abundance of resources allowed the development of a highly developed, after results of Salzberghochtal culture, was named the Hallstatt culture.

There is to date registered notable events occurred in Hallstatt during the Roman era or early Middle Ages. In 1311, Hallstatt became a commercial city, showing he had not lost its economic value. Today, apart from salt production, which since 1595 is transported in the form of brine about 40 kilometers from Hallstatt to Ebensee through a pipe, tourism plays a major factor in the economic life of the city. Hallstatt tourists say the site is "the oldest line in the world", which was built 400 years ago from 13,000 hollowed-out logs. The land is so scarce that at ten bodies were exhumed from the cemetery to clear land for new graves being moved to an ossuary. A collection of elaborately decorated skulls with the names of their owners, professions and death dates inscribed on them are on display in the local chapel.

Regards,Danos

Hi Angel
if you look closely we can see many reflections on the water, there are hints of distortions that are quite beautiful.

nice to have the strong green theme of colour, it stands out quite well and its very bold.

lovely blues to compliment the scene too.
enjoy your day
Craig

Hola amigo Angel.
Un gran POV, para captar la gran belleza de este bonito pueblo en el mismo borde del lago, las empinadas laderas de la montaсa tras las casas, cubiertas de arbolado, contribuyen a la gran belleza del lugar.
Muy eficaz colorido, que destaca los detalles de la imagen.
Una buena gestion, tanto de la luminosidad, como de la nitidez.
Muy bien hecho. Me gusta.
Disfruta de un buen dia.
Mis mejores deseos para ti. Un abrazo.
Luis.

Best regards

Hola Angel,
a very attractive neighbourhood, must be one of the loveliest in Europe. I like the play of bold and small diagonals, they create a delightful effect in the greater part of your composition. The colours are lovely and convey the freshness and the tranquility of the atmosphere as well. The reflections fill the lower part of the frame in a charming way. Congratulations and thank you!
All the best, have a great weekend,
Ourania

Hi Angel,
I like your reportage from this lovely town in Austria.
Every picture shows subtly different aspect, different composition. It seems to be very photogenic. I see also watching your photos that there is so much more over there to see than the classical typical view which people usually show.
I like very much the diagonal line made by the hill. The little houses are so pretty.
Very picturesque place,
excellent presentation,
M

shevchenko (20560) 2016-04-25 22:56

Hi Angel,

Good pov and good frame to show the beautiful geographical feature that comprises green mountain and water even beautiful blue sky as background, lovely local architectures, distinct photo, good shoot.
