Left Austria today after two weeks. Spring is fully underway there.

Inspired by the documentation for Wee Planets, I created this panorama with Hugin, an outstanding tool for aligning, joining, blending and correcting images. I simply followed the installation instructions and threw six relatively carelessly-taken photos at it to obtain this result. It was reported as a “very bad fit” by Hugin, which may indicate the quality that can be achieved with care. The original size is available here.
Hugin includes everything needed to quickly create panoramas: I did not have to use separately autopano-sift or Enblend.
Great fun and highly recommended.

Excellent views: poor visibility. Few good photos.
The runs in this shot are presently closed, but covered in snow, horrible melting snow. If the temperature drops and a little snow falls, an Easter ski here may yet be feasible.
Found a wood stack facing the sun and attempted to produce some shots suitable for desktop backgrounds.
A worthwhile drive:
So we visited Salzburg, with its endless squares and vistas.

Great weather and skiing above the clouds, though we were on foot today, expecting the warm weather to have reached this high.
