Salzburg is the city where Mozart was born. Where he was forced into music by his father, Leopold, himself a musician. Leopold saw in Mozart a fountain of money due to his skils with musical instruments. Later, Mozart became the composing genius that we all admire.
Salzbrug is also the city of the Sound of Music, a movie that every single Austrian I asked about said he or she had never hear of it. Strange.
The picture shows the Gardens in Mirabell Palace, including the fountain where famous 'Do-Re-Mi' song from the Sound of Music was recorded. In the background we can see Hohensalzburg Castle, the old residence of the archbishops of Salzburg.
