This Wayside Shrine - in Austria called "Marterl" - is located in Obernberg, Tirol, Austria on the hiking trail to the Lake Obernbergersee. This Shrine should remind the pedestrian to make a quiet pray or put some flowers or a candle into the Shrine. The style, this "Marterl" is built, is typical for Tirol, Austria - Bayern, Germany and Alto Adige, Italy. In other parts of Austria they are built in another style. So this is very unique and beautiful to look at. Most of the "Marterlen" here in Tirol are in a very good condition and they are mostly filled with flowers or candles.

 

Shot was taken shortly before sunset - as you may see, the sunlight comes from left behind. It was a wonderful and magic moment for a shot. Luckily I had my camera with me...
