Hallstatt, in motion (sample card)

Hallstatt, Austria. Frame pulled at street level: the lake, one swan, the church spire, the mountains standing around it.

A thing most postcards imply and get wrong: the big mountain above town is not Traunstein. Traunstein stands over the Traunsee, a different lake. I left the peak unnamed until I can check it.

The salt mine above town is still working: the oldest active salt mine in the world, about 7,000 years of digging. UNESCO listing, 1997.

The moving version runs fourteen seconds. Slow push through this exact frame, my voice, music: watch it on iLands.
