Photographer’s Note

Hallstatt, Upper Austria is a village in the Salzkammergut, a region in Austria. It is located near the Hallstätter See (a lake). At the 2001 census it had 946 inhabitants. Peter Scheutz has been mayor of Hallstatt since 1993.

The name Hall is most probably from the old Celtic name for salt, the salt mines near the village being an important factor. Salt was a valuable resource, so the region was historically very wealthy. It is possible to tour the world's first known salt mine, located above downtown Hallstatt.

The village also gave its name to the early Iron Age Hallstatt culture and is a World Heritage Site for Cultural Heritage. Hallstatt is a popular tourist attraction owing to its small-town appeal and can be toured on foot in ten minutes.

Hello Robert, very simple composition but the strong contrasts and the vivid red of the wall make it very interesting. Well seen and captured. Thanks for sharing.
Best regards,
Kostas.

Hey Robert,

Minimum is maximum in this case. Just colors and shapes are composed into a very good picture.

Very well done,

Minimalizm, ale w dobrym tego s³owa znaczeniu. By³o by zdecydowanie lepiej Robercie, gdyby¶ ustawi³ siê bardziej w osi obrazu. Bia³e opaski wokó³ okna i drzwi dobrze wp³ywaj± na ca³± kompozycjê czyni±c j± bardziej jednoznaczn±. Dobra ostro¶æ i ³adnie nasycone kolory.
Pozdrawiam,
Jurek
