Is that Zara as in the best clothing store EVER Zara? If so that's the coolest sign they've ever come up with!

Wow, nice photos. :)
That strange roof going down the hill in the first photo fascinates me.

@ Marie Koutná
I think this "strange roof" is the Mönchsberg lift: "The Mönchsberg lift takes you up and above the city roofs to the Mönchsberg in less than 30 seconds. Once you have reached the top, you can enjoy excellent views of the historic part of Salzburg."

@ Joyce
While you were on stage last night there was a wonderful film about Rossini on TV - including some clips of your rehearsals of "Il Barbiere" at La Scala - followed by your outstanding "Cenerentola" from Barcelona! Sometimes the TV programmes do give us pleasant surprises.

Thank you for posting your Twitters on your blog page. That way I don't have to get a Twitter account to stay updated.
Concerning your Photo Safari, I'm again impressed with your photo eye. When we were in Salzburg 4 years ago I took pictures of a lot of the same signs but my compositions are more of the memory jogger variety. You are inspiring me to do try harder. Enjoy Edinburgh.

Thank you for the information. I must try it when I visit Salzburg then - if I ever visit it... :D
