Last photos from the cable car up (with sun) and down (without sun) during my manic effort to see and walk across the Tibetan-style hanging bridge in the hills north and west of Bellinzona, back in November. For orientation, in the photo above, the main city of Bellinzona with its three UNESCO historic castles is to the left, west, around the corner and between the ridge of mountains we’re descending, and the ridge formed with the moutain across the valley. In case you were curious…
A selection of entrancy photos from various parts of Ticino on my visit there more than 5 months ago. I need to accept that I’ll never get all those photos posted…
We come, at last, to the final photos from my glorious four days in Zermatt last year. The last photo at the bottom here shows you the view from my upper-deck front seat window on the bus down valley from Täsch back to Visp (who up-valley journey we documented closer to the time), whence those various trains via Domodossola to the lovely lakesides villages & cities of Ticino. And just FYI, I’ve made a preliminary decision that I’ll aim for 400 posting days in a row on this swing, meaning you (and I) will be taking a break from the daily one-or-more posts near the end of this month.
I was in Locarno, on the shores of Lago Maggiore, nearly five months ago already. These are all from a lovely walk around the city on my first morning there. Below you’ll see some of the old “Castello Visconteo,” or viscount’s castle I guess, which is one of the older buildings in this city which dates to the 12th century but does have some Roman history as well, I believe. I mostly just walked around and enjoyed the views – didn’t go into the museum housed in the Castello, sorry…
(so much world, so little time....)
