During the summer of 1972 I made a seven week visit to
Europe.
Salzburg,
Austria was just one of many destinations during that trip. Above is a view of the castle above the old town. The city and area was used as a setting for the filming of the 1960s movie called
"The Sound of Music" starring
Julie Andrews as
Maria von Trapp and
Christopher Plummer as the
Baron von Trapp. The film was based upon a true story but the actual events shown in the movie turned out quite different. You'll have to do a search to find out more about the movie and what actually happened. Check my photo blog for more photos of
Salzburg. The link is in the right-hand sidebar. - V

a very nice city ... the film is one of my favorite :-)
This film is one of my favourites as well. Some of the music is still stuck in my mind after fifty or more years. Salzburg is also one of my favourite areas in Austria. There is family that emigrated from there 200 or more years ago to East Prussia. That is on my father's side of the family. Perhaps this might also account for the keen interest in mountains! - V
