Bissone as I walked home across the bridges & causeway from the Melide train station. Below, both Bissone and some of the other towns along the more southern shores of Lake Lugano.

From the Air.73

Last in this series from the gondola trip’s last leg down to Zermatt. We’ve shown you some of these houses above in a prior post or two, but I found this view from the air captivating.

Mountains.73

Mountains and towns along the coast all taken the morning after we crossed into the arctic circle (where we spent a total of more than four days), before our walk around town during the port call at Bodø. At the bottom, you see a bit of the sun lingering below the horizon shortly before 9am that day – it probably officially rose around 10, and you’ll see from the earlier Bodø photos when it really set, which I think was around 2pm.
