Linz – Hauptplatz

A first look at the Austrian city of Linz. The Main Square forms the centre of Linz and is one of the largest enclosed squares in Austria. The 20 metre high white marble column, completed in 1723 is dedicated to the Holy trinity in gratitude for having survived many disasters’ and a protection against fire, war and plague.
We are beset by many baroque buildings and a fine cathedral and so an inner city walk from the Danube beckons as well as a tram ride up to the Pöstlingberg Kirche. Of course this wonderful square demands time for a photo or two both from my DSLR and phone.

See PiP for closer view of the column.

Enjoy the day.

Aye that wide angle is pretty good on that little phone. A very handy wide-angle when I dont have the big lens with us. I find it interesting to compare this with my Nikon shot in the PiP. Austria is a most wonderful country to explore.

Cheers. Herb
