We took these photos last summer in the Salzkammergut, a region in Austria which is very green, with mountains and lakes, and where the nights are fresher than in the city of Vienna.
Despite the heat, we made little trips in our neighbourhood like this one on top of Schafberg with its breathtaking view over the lakes.
Not only birds were in the sky!

The birds in the bottom picture look like Alpine Choughs!
Thank you maalie, they are alpine choughs, Alpendohlen! I'll insert the name under the picture.
The alpine choughs are excellent flyers and very cute when they accompany you on a mountain tour because they expect food.
I thought so! I saw some in the Pyrenees in February and a few up on Dachstein in May. I love the way they play in the wind currents!
Thanks for your comment on my blog - I appreciate it! You have some gorgeous photographs on your blog. You live in such a lovely place!
Thank you mrs. who for your lovely comment!
Beautiful!! Is that you hang-gliding? I love the mountains. MB
small city scenes, I wish it was me but I never tried. Maybe I'll try a tandem fly once? Have you tried?
Lovely, just lovely! Hang-gliding is one of my dreams;)
so beautiful - I really enjoyed seeing these. Happy SWF!

I'm just not that brave to fly like that!
Great sky watch!

ces, I have not posted a picture with dog D'Ora standing at the abyss and trying to climb down the rocks because I still feel sick when I see this scene.
It looks shocking!
We took the dog on the leach then!

Nice pictures ! I also saw quite a lot of them around the Garda Lake !
What an interesting Sky Watch! I have never seen anyone hanggliding! I can not imagine jumping off of a mountain side on purpose!
Thanks for visiting my SWF!!
Hang-gliding is fun to WATCH. I'd be scared to deth to actually do it!
great shoots have nice weekend
I would love to be there, the scenery is beautiful and the activity looks fun.
Wow, I am afraid of heights, and this is getting me a little dizzy! Beautiful sky, though... :)
