The mountain town of Heiligenblut, Austria. We drove through here on our way from Salzburg to Lienz; it was just before tourist season so the whole town was amazingly peaceful. A little bit about the area:
Situated in the high-Alpine region of the Hohe Tauern mountain range at 1,288 meters, Heiligenblut is located at the foot of the Großglockner, the highest mountain in Austria, and the Pasterze Glacier. The Gothic pilgrimage church of Saint Vinzenz, with its needle spire, was built between 1460-1491 and contains a relic of Christ’s Holy Blood. According to legend the relic, which is kept in a sacrament house, was brought there in 914 from Constantinople by the Danish knight Briccius. On his way home he was buried by an avalanche and his corpse was found where three ears of wheat broke through the snow. The church also houses a late-Gothic winged altarpiece from 1520, and a crypt and tomb containing the remains of Briccius.
Tighter view of the church here:
Once upon an August sunset, a fairy tale pond reflected reality's lengthening shadows until they started shifting familiar shapes into new possibilities. Photo taken last year.

“Una volta la bellezza fu ospite
Della bruttezza
E si sentì brutta
Perché non riuscì a renderla
Bella come se stessa”
Ma si racconta anche:
“La bruttezza
Fu ospite della bellezza
E si sentì cosi bene
Da non essere piu brutta”
Crederò vere tutt’e due
Se in ogni paese
La fame
Sarà così spesso ospite della sazietà
Da non esserci piu
Ma un bambino
Mi ha domandato:
“La sazietà
Sazierà la fame della fame
O la divorerà?”
“Favole”, Erich Fried.

The narrative fire. Tales captures the high-energy, spinning motion of a story as it unfolds, weaving the heat of the past into the light of the present.

I think i might have a new hummer or at least one i have not spotted before.

The river Adda unfolds her beauty meandering at the feet of the hills; here the river widens and creates a series of coves (one of them lays just at the dead center of the frame, beyond the leftmost trees on the bank).
The postprocessing of this exposure bracketing has been rather longish and difficult, since the single shots looked pretty dull - but I knew that there should be more than met the eye, so I struggled hard to bring to life the real view, or, if you prefer, my memories of that moment.
(Almost) every shot has a story to tell - a soul of her own, if you like -, this is not breaking news for a photographer. But I am sometimes struck by the awareness that every shot holds back many more untold tales. They lay in an alien space and time, possibilities still to be actualized - or in the past, like already told tales which you have simply missed. I have taken photos at this same spot, but today is a fresh story - and I can feel the untold tales waiting their turn in the secret bowels of the river. Some of them are almost surfacing to light - like the pebbles just under the surface of the water - and I can feel them whispering in the peaceful silence of the morning. Soon I will be gone, taking with me - in my camera and in my very soul - today's tale. My own tale. Then a fresh one will begin unfolding.
I have obtained this picture by blending an exposure bracketing [-1.7/0/+1.7 EV] by luminosity masks in the Gimp (EXIF data, as usual, refer to the "normal exposure" shot), then I added some final touches with Nik Color Efex Pro 4.
