Today’s photo is another of my favourite European views. It is taken from the Hohensalzburg Fortress unsurprisingly in Salzburg.
You can see the River Salzach twisting towards the hills that were once alive with the sound of music!

Great fortress. Did you get the story about the painted cow?
The sound of music green one? Presumed I was just to advertise the tours.
During a siege in 1525 the defenders of the fortress allegedly painted and repainted a cow in different colours every day to try and fool the attackers into believing that they were well supplied! A likely story…
