One of our first stops on our two-day Styrian Alps road trip this past week (see previous posts) was the well-known old pilgrimage town of Mariazell.
I thought of James and his meme Weekend Reflections when I took this first photo; the town seen in a big red Christmas ball, with the basilica as an advent window on the building behind it. It's been a while since I joined this fun.
Austria, 2012

Oh my gosh, the reflection is amazing but I also love all of the other photos. Someday I'm going to spend Christmas in the old world, somewhere! :) Continue to be inspired in 2013.
A really great composition in the first photo! I know this place, it is a nice one! Have you been to the lake too?
Happy New Year! May be we will meet this next year, if you come nearer.
Great red reflection shot, Have a nice weekend :)
Nice sharing... I wish you all the best to you too !
I envy where you are, especially around Christmas! Hope you had a merry one - and all the best for the New Year!
The first photo is so beautiful, and the series it self stunning.
love the big bulbs hung in the outside tree!
A bright capture, nicely composed. Happy New Year to you and yours.
Good thought, great execution. I wish you a happy and prosperous New Year.
Gorgeous town, I love the reflection in the Christmas Ornament. Wishing you a Very Happy New Year!
Another surprise from you!
I have been thinking of you and wondering where you would be next :)
What a charming town and a beautiful basilica!
Wishing you safe travels, and more time with your family and friends, in 2013.
Nice series, I like especially the 1st one! Well done!
I wish you a nice weekend.
How exciting to have new and fresh "things" to shoot. Jealous. My fave here in the one with the statue on the left overlooking the street. I have been horrible about reflections. I don't think I've played along for 6 months or better. Hopefully I can get back on soon. Happy 2013 to you too.
Evocative composition. I was to surprised to see the tree full of red balls. I imagine Christmas in Austria to be charming. Look forward to your 2013 posts.
How wonderful a Holiday post and just right for the Reflection meme. It looks exactly as I would expect an Austrian village to look -- perfectly charming and perfectly Christmasy.
Happy New Year!
What great shots of this very charming town!
What a gorgeous place! I'm enchanted by the first composition, the red is so special! Great shot!

Very nice photos of a beautiful place. I'll be back a little later to catch up.
Hi Francisca!
Hope you are doing well and having a wonderful start to the new year! Looking forward to seeing more of this wonderful world through your lens this year. xx
Beautiful photos
A wonderful set of shots. I love the fog and mountain rising up in that last photo.
