European countries with such centuries of history have, by sheer time, amassed incredible buildings, structures, monuments, and fountains that shout to the visitor: “I have been here longer than you can imagine!"
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 and surrounding areas differently every time.
I labeled this post "Shrines 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.
