that you could be overdoing a posting of this beautiful place. Especially to us in America who do not exactly get exposed to such splendor created so long ago. I had Mom step up to the monitor, she lived in Austria before marrying my Dad, and she said that Kloster Melk is magnificent and in the center of wine country.

All of your photographs are amazing in what we get to take in, the library is a feat of a shot, I'm glad you got it and had the courage to take it.

BTW it is "Maria Theresia" there is that extra i in her name. How do I know? My school in Augsburg was named "Maria Theresia Oberrealschule".
