We visited a lake town in Austria called Hallstatt a week ago. It was lovely and peaceful; as usual, we had an amazing time. These are my favorite pictures from the weekend.
This is in the Catholic cemetery next to the church. The town is built on the side of the mountain with limited space, so they would bury the dead, leave them for 10 or 15 years, then dig up the bodies and put the bones into the Beinhaus -- the bone house. There were thousands of skulls and bones in there, quite a strange site.
