The Golden Stag



In the Alps region of which Austria is part, the Stag (Hirsch) is prominent in the iconography and culture. Here in Salzburg, the Golden Stag Hotel is one of the best, small but exclusive with an excellent restaurant, beautiful linen and fresh cut flowers, usually a small bouquet of roses on each table. Very nice menu, if a bit on the heavy side. I took this picture of the sign for the hotel which hangs on the street, no big commercial neon signs here. The building dates back to 1757.

I also have this official photo of Will in his new Austrian Trachten, I think he looks very handsome. Thanks to him I discovered this Music Festival. He is a wonderful fellow.
