Fig. 8: Salzburg Mozard Bowl: An eight-metre-high golden Mozartkugel on Kapitelplatz. But the man on it doesn't look like Mozart. Who is it supposed to be? It is the "Sphaera" by the German artist Stephan Balkenhof. Nikon D3; Δt=1/250 s; f=50 mm; f/8.0; ISO 200; 1 September 2009 14:59:44

Fig. 13: Lake Samarangeree is located at the Fernpass, somewhat hidden behind Lake Fernstein. It is one of the most popular diving destinations. As this lake has neither inflow nor outflow, the water here is particularly clear. Sunken trees at the far end form an underwater Mikado. Slime algae overgrow everything and create an enchanted fairytale world. If you want to dive here, you must book two nights at Hotel Schloss Fernsteinsee and have at least 100 dives under your belt. To protect the underwater world, the number of divers per day and per dive is regulated. iPhone SE; Δt=1/514 s; f=4.15 mm; f/2.2; ISO 25; 3 September 2017 11:01:57

Fig. 14: Lake Blind: On the other side of the Fernpass lies the Blindsee. Seen here from the service area at the top of the pass. It is a (not so secret anymore) insider tip among divers. Numerous sunken tree trunks form a tangled underwater Mikado. In contrast to the Samarangersee, it is not quite as clear, but has a greater abundance of fish. The Blindsee is privately owned by the MOHR Life Resort in the village of Lermoos, just a few minutes away. Diving is only allowed with permission. iPhone SE; Δt=1/546 s; f=4.15 mm; f/2.2; ISO 25; 3 September 2017 13:15:09
