The first “source” entry was a photo I took in Ticino, nearly a week after I took these ice-sculpture photos inside the glacier at the top of the “Little Matterhorn” last November 1st – but seeing the glacier, ice, snow, rivers, frost on the grass around Zermatt in the mornings: all of those experiences helped me decide I’d need to try this series out. What else can be both shelter and sculpting material, cushion if you wall into it when it’s still soft, exercise medium when we swim, absolutely necessity for and source of the life-forms we know here on earth…and so many other things? There are more ice sculptures to come, from Nordkapp. But I figure first I’d show you the ones from Zermatt :-).
Nearing the end of my photos from Zermatt at the end of October and the first days of November last year, so we’ll soon be showing you more of the snowy mountains of Norway instead of the sunny and snowy southern Swiss alps. But we do still have more from Ticino, rich in both lakes and mountains! 🙂
Many bridges in Bellinzona; the one above connecting Castello di Montebello’s inner and outer courtyards, also seen in some below along with a few street bridges from my lovely hike between castles that day. If you missed it earlier, do check out our prior post explaining these castles.
A trio of Centovalli bridges enjoyed during my walk around Camedo back on the lovely sunny afternoon of November 6th, amongst the beautiful memories I carry from that day. 🙂
Last post of the Tibetan footbridge we’ve shown you previously, in the hills above Bellinzona. Anyone with trouble viewing the small circles below: tap or click on the individual photos to see them full size. 🙂
These are some of the lovely cottage gardens and semi-wild hillsides down which I walked and bushwhacked during my efforts to see all three of the proud castles of Bellinzona early last November, as we’ve described in a prior post or three :-).
Back to where we began this series, with one traditional window (below center) and more of Sigmar Polke’s lovely 2009 windows from Zurich’s Grossmünster.
(so much world, so little time....)
