27 Reasons ........

There are plenty of reasons to ask for a window seat. For starters you can lean on the window if you want to sleep, and you never have to get up for someone else! But it's what's outside of that window that is most compelling. The world is a wonderful place, one that looks entirely different from above. From sunrises and sunsets to landscapes, cityscapes and all kinds of cloud formations in between; there's beauty out there as far as the eye can see.

Picture of the Day: Hallstatt Village, Austria Posted: 05 Mar 2014 04:17 PM PST   HALLSTATT VILLAGE, AUSTRIA   Photograph by DANNY XEERO 500px | Facebook | Flickr   Photographer Danny Xeero took this beautiful shot of the picturesque Hallstatt Village in Austria. Nestled between the edge of Hallstätter See (a lake) and the towering Dachstein mountains, Austria's oldest and possibly most photographed village is something like a mirage in the Salzkammergut Lake Region. The village and surrounding area were inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1997 for its cultural heritage. According to the Austrian Tourism Board's official website: "There are a few options for arriving in the spectacular Alpine village of Hallstatt, but the best way to experience the magnitude of this famous location is with a ferry ride across the lake. As the arresting scenery of a tiny village tucked between mountains and water comes into view, you'll immediately want to know more about this destination. What could be the secret to Hallstatt's wealth and beautiful baroque architecture? For centuries, villagers have traded a very sought-after commodity that lies deep below the surface: salt. Bring the family to the Hallstatt Mines and travel by slide deep into the world's oldest salt mines. Discover a subterranean salt lake and the mummy of a prehistoric miner who became preserved in salt. In addition to a museum with 7,000-year-old artifacts, several tours are available to reveal more about how Hallstatt came to be.   To commemorate your trip to this village, don't forget to pack your camera. Take a short walk from the market square to take your very own snapshot of one of the most photographed points in the world. Capture the delightful houses built into the mountain, the glass-like lake, and the amazing mountains in the background. For more beautiful shots, take a nature walk through the Echerntal trail and discover landscapes that have attracted mountain climbers, explorers, romantic poets, and painters.
