Heading back to the UK from (mostly) sunny Austria will be daunting weathewise, but it's been a good few days. I have done several trips to Austria and have extended a few to see a bit more of the country and have found myself scheduling holidays there after. It's easy to see why as the scenery is very dramatic. We had another day in the hire car heading up mountain roads and I made a point of heading through Feldkirchen again as on the way through yesterday, I saw a shot in my mind's eye but by the time I had thought it out we had gone too far and the shot was gone. Even today we had gone past as there was no lay-by to stop in, so we turned back and parked in a driveway and this is the result:

Today we headed up to the dam at the top of Malta almalpenstrasse. At a height of just under 2000m (6400 feet) while it was 26 degrees in the valley, it was 8 degrees here and there was snow on the tops of the mountains. There was a hotel exhibition and a restaurant with a boat shaped observation terrace.
