The Musikverien on a Sunday morning
Dedication plaque, 1870
Mahler, music director of the Vienba Philharmonic
Ornate Großer Salle.
The acoustics were superb!
Leipzig orchestra ready
Cleaning and moving the basses between Tchaikovski and Sibelius, performed by two different orchestras
At intermission. Interesting to think about all the foot marks in the stage risers
Vienna Akademisches Orchestra ready for Sibelius
"Music lovers society"
Connection at St Pölten to the narrow guage Himmilstreppe (Heaven step) train
Beginning just south of St. Pölten
Village churches glimpsed from the train
Special trains run on summer weekends
The railway, road and river all run together
Climbing the switchbacks
Approaching a viaduct
Tree down at pole 23 on KM 66 on the line
A storm over Ötscher. A lightning strike about 2/3 up the mountain from the left was quite dramatic
Loss of power at Annaburg Reith as the rain pelted the train
Going nowhere right now
Time to catch the bus
Maria Basilica at Mariazell
Symbol of the city
Dusk after the storm
