Switzerland picture countdown! (9-12)

Dear L,

It was so great to connect over gchat today.

I went through all of the pictures we took in Switzerland and picked out my 12 favorite ones.



12
Location: Mount Pilatus, Luzern.
Photographer: Bough (I'm switching to misspellings and homonyms)
Why I like it: May not be the best photographic skill, composition, or posture (my bad, but hey it was a long hike!), but this picture taken from about 3/4 up the mountain shows how far we hiked. We started all the way down at the lakeside! You can also see a couple of the switchbacks in the bottom right. They look small, but each switch took 3-4 minutes and the entire hike took 4.5 hours.

11
Location: Ticino.
Photographer: Nelly.
Why I like it: The eeriness of Ticino when the fog begins to roll in. We stayed there for three nights.




10
Location: Ticino.
Photographer: Nelly.
Why I like it: Because it's funny! Shows how much Brownings love words. On Nelly and Bough's lunch table I see Anna Karenina, The Brothers Karamazov, an open book of crossword puzzles, Scrabble, and two books more I can't identify.


9
Location: Gornergrat, Zermatt.
Photographer: Yours truly.
Why I like it: Start in Zermatt. Get on the chairlift and ride it just up to the first stop, Sunegga. Get off and step to the right - voila! That's where I want to be(e).




Photos 1-8 coming soon.

Love,
D
