Visitors experience this view of Oberhaus Fortress (Veste Oberhaus) from the main square in Passau. The fortress itself offers an even more intriguing view: You see the three rivers of Passau in their different colours: Danube (Blue), Inn (Green) and Ilz (Black).

Austrian Sculpture Park
While walking through the Austrian sculpture park south of Graz, I saw this artwork. Though I assume it is already named, I wonder what title would be your choice?
VT 10 of the GKB Railways
Memories! Sometimes I come across these red railbuses of the GKB Railways in Styria. When I was a child, I used to take these trains to see my grandmother. Actually they were the first trains I ever took.
2nd Marcus Car in Mürzzuschlag
At an event performed by the Südbahnmuseum in Mürzzuschlag, I came across this operating replica of the second car built by Siegfried Marcus. The original saw its construction in 1888/1889 and is still running too.
Ford T 1925
Nearly 100 years old and still running. I came across this 1925 model of a Ford T automobile at a classic car show in Mürzzuschlag. Fun fact: The location was on the grounds of the Südbahn Museum, which doesn’t deal with automobiles but the history of the Semmering Railway.
Parz Castle in Grieskirchen
Parz Castle (Schloss Parz) formed the venue of the State Exhibition 2010 about the Renaissance and Reformation in Upper Austria. Its frescoes at the storefront are the largest Renaissance frescoes north of the Alps.

Fun wall painting in Mödling
While walking through the streets of Mödling I came across this fun wall painting. I guess it was a kind of advertisement for a painter and decorator nearby.
Postbox with legs in Mödling
Photo of a postbox taken in Mödling, a city in the Austrian state of Lower Austria. The legs are not a prank or an urban intervention but part of a campaign. I love the idea though.
Fortified church of Weissenkirchen
In Weißenkirchen, a place in the lovely Wachau region, there is still a fortified church (Wehrkirche) from the 14th century to see. The big tower was built as a defence structure against the Ottomans in the 16th century.
