It is hard to beat an
exploding-snowman-head in a follow-up post.
European countries
with such a long history have, by sheer time, amassed incredible buildings,
structures, monuments, and fountains that shout to the visitor: “I have been here a long time!”
A first time visitor
to Switzerland suffers from camera overload:
so many photo opportunities, that it is overwhelming to pick and
choose.
As a returning
tourist, I visited Switzerland by myself in July 2012 to see a newborn
grandson. My photos naturally focused on
him and his parents. Each day, I rode a
bus through the city of Bern and viewed the city differently every time.
My second post on S-T
is this: A Shrine of Time
 |
| These are stone watering troughs from old farmlands, gathered together for artistic appreciation. |
 |
| An old English telephone booth without its glass, in which a plant had grown |
 |
| A trail marker along the Aure River |
 |
| A tree along the Aure River, and it is hanging on with its roots until the next snow-melt flood |
Sometimes the smaller Shrines of Time speak the loudest.
