Peaceful Austrian town in the eastern edge of the Alps

Graz had this relaxed, lived-in feel that made it easy to enjoy. I spent most of my time wandering, camera in hand, taking in the mix of old streets and green corners.

One morning, I hiked up to the small tower on the hill, the Uhrturm, to watch the sunrise. The view over the red rooftops in that soft early light was beautiful. Peaceful, quiet, and just the right kind of stillness to start the day.
