The Alps ring a number of countries as they cut a path through Austria, Germany, Switzerland, to name a few. As we headed from Melk up to Salzburg, I managed to catch a few photos that weren't marred by blurry trees or speeding cars.

One of the first glimpses of the Alps rising from the flatter lands.
