Photos taken by Raoul Pop
This post may be the first in a series of daily image galleries published here on my site. They’re going to be either recent images or early ones, culled from my archives, though they’re more likely to be recent ones. The name of the series may change. Enjoy the photographs!

Salzburg in the rain
In September of 2008, we made a quick stop in the Altstadt (Old Town) in Salzburg, as we were traveling through Austria. It was raining and cold, and in spite of my camera not being waterproof to any degree, I insisted on taking some photos. I kept it under my raincoat and I’d take it out for a quick photo, then back inside it’d go. It still got wet, but thankfully, it did not break down. Enjoy the photos!

A snowstorm in early autumn
We were driving on the Felbertauern Strasse, a scenic alpine road in Austria known for its beautiful views and its tunnels, when the weather turned foggy and chilly. We stopped for a bit at a place called Rastplatz Elisabethsee to have a look around, and we were treated to these wonderful views of the mountains above, the Osttirol Alps, where a snowstorm had begun, even though it was still early autumn. The contrast between the greenery being covered by fresh snow and fog was so wonderful to see, and it was a reminder of how quickly the weather can turn at high altitudes. Enjoy the photographs!

A spring outing to the forest
There’s a forest near the village of PeliÈ™or (where we’re restoring the fortified church and parochial house through our NGO) that we love to visit. It’s the same forest where I took these other photos. It’s a welcoming place with lovely trees, mostly oak and beech, where we can walk undisturbed or sit down and take in the fresh air and the sights and sounds of nature. We visit whenever we can. These photos were taken this spring during one such outing. Enjoy!
