May all our roads be signposted as nicely as these hiking-paths on Gaisberg near Salzburg city. And may always be crossed knives and forks be as close by as here.
Sign: "Sign the picture, sign the picture, sign the picture and throw it away!" For those music-diggers and gold-miners among you:
Peter Hammill & the K-Group live: The Margin. Hamburg, Line Records 1985.
Peter Hammill has a new album out, good to hear from him after so many years!

It was a well known inn-type restaurant, a solid old house, sitting there as if it were built to stay forever. Well.

Remember

On the way to Bad Dürrnberg and the salt mines high above Salzach river valley near Hallein; traffic has been halted, rescue workers, representatives of Salzburg province and the British Embassy meet with the relatives of the victims of a terrible traffic accident. Time to mourn and remember.
A local driver, obviously very 'pressed', had overtaken a slow tourist coach from the U. K. Oncoming traffic, the coach driver's attempt to avoid the danger failed and the bus crashed after a 100 meters' fall down a steep slope.
No pictures there of the traces of the impact after the coach had been removed; years later, I carry them with me.
To all you drivers who may feel hurried at times or just enjoy the rush of the adrenaline when overtaking: is it worth these consequences?
