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. 🙂

And the last shots of another hanging bridge we’ve shared before, this one in the mountains above Zermatt.

Urban Garden.224

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 :-).

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.

We could also title this post “37 Views of the Matterhorn,” because these should be the last 37 views of this beautiful mountain that you’ll see for now. I arrived in Zermatt after dark on the 30th of October and posted my very first Matterhorn shots the next morning, so today is precisely three months from when I posted the first of many Matterhorn shots. I did many long and wonderful walks / hikes during my three full days in Zermatt, as well as sitting on benches drinking tea in the morning while waiting for the sun to peek around the facing mountains to shine directly onto the peak on at least one morning. So these show the mountain as seen from various directions and elevations. I’ve edited out quite a few, but find these that remain so lovely each in a slightly different way that I’d feel I’m failing to share the joy of beauty if I didn’t post. And Steve always reminds me that folks can glance quickly and then move on if they want. Hugs & may the coming month bring love, joy and some mountain tranquility to your daily life.

You’ll have noticed how much I loved everything I saw in Switzerland. These are just about all the remaining shots from my first day there, at least 🙂
