The time has come. After two weeks in the most beautiful country I've ever been to, I collected pictures from Nelly, Bough, Steffi, Dad, and Veeve. Thousands of pictures. A lot of them were the same shot of us together smiling stiffly for the camera, sun in our eyes, arm in arm, pasted on top of a Swiss postcard. Not these, though. These are action. These are the best.
Location: The hike down to Winkelmatten, near Zermatt.
Photographer: Steffi.
In this photo (from close): me, Nelly, Bough.
Why I like it: The landscape, the geography, and the sky, but most of all Nelly and Bough's eerily synchronized head-cocking.
Location: Ticino.
Photographer: Nelly.
Why I like it: The colors.
Location: Gornergrat, near Zermatt.
Photographer: Bough.
In this photo: me.
Why I like it: Despite the fact that the wind was terrifyingly strong at the top of the mountain (this picture was taken during our mad dash from the train to the mountaintop restaurant), making it hard to even walk, Bough and I managed to get this photo that almost made it look like we were having fun. It really felt more like this. Or this?
Location: Pilatus.
Photographer: Steffi.
In this photo: Bough and Nelly.
Why I like it: It doesn't even look real!
Here are pictures 5 through 8 and here are pictures 9 through 12.
Love,

That one of you striding through the mountains waving a stick around is great!
ReplyDeleteThat landscape is breathtaking...how does anyone get anything done? If I lived in Switzerland I would just make chocolate outdoors all day long...mm
Haha yeah it took all the focus I had just to walk and wave a stick!
ReplyDeleteOoo or cheese! Mmmmm cheese.
