Welcome to Fucking

Fucking, pronounced "Fooking", is an Austrian village 33 kilometres north of Salzburg with a population of 104 people.

English visitors used to steal traffic signs but in 2005 they were modified and now are set in concrete making it impossible to be removed.

Police chief Kommandant Schmidtberger said: "We will not stand for the Fucking signs being removed,"

"It may be very amusing for you British, but Fucking is simply Fucking to us. What is this big Fucking joke? It is puerile."

Local tourist guide Andreas Behmueller said it was only the British that had a fixation with Fucking.

"The Germans all want to see the Mozart house in Salzburg," he explained. "Every American seems to care only about 'The Sound of Music' (the 1965 film shot around Salzburg.) The occasional Japanese wants to see Hilter's birthplace in Braunau."

I searched for photos of the village that might be beautiful but found nothing but the signs. Only at this site I found some pictures.

Abstraction symphony by Cea

It's hard to believe it is not a painting. I asked Cea if it is a puddle of clean water or a pond maybe with a bit of oil because I have already seem some reflections like this.

It seems to be raining.

I love the different textures created by the reflections of the blue sky, the tree and the water that blurred it all and is a unique pattern in some areas.

Had the photography be taken in a different time it would be another symphony.

I'll have to rewrite in case it is not a puddle but I bet that there is water involved.
