Lake Living.48

Though Zermatt’s best known for its Matterhorn, and Ticino for its lakes I think – a wee reminder that both cantons have both lakes and mountains :-). This aptly-named Green Lake (Gruensee) sits on the “Five Lakes Walk,” part of which I walked on my way down from the first station above Zermatt itself, coming down from what I showed you last post :-).

So I told two Swiss friends (during text chats conducted as I walked along the shores of another stunning arm of this lovely neighbor lake) that Switzerland has officially annoyed me in the way that a vegetarian restaurant annoys me: too many irresistible options. Those texts were about where I’ll go next – and these shots just share more. Everywhere one turns here, one just sees more lovely things to photograph. In the gallery below are two photos shot from moving trains en route to Zermatt, plus three including the bottom panorama taken from the balcony of the place I stayed in. Impossible to do anything other than gawk out train windows around here, if it’s daylight.

This is – should you have any doubt – the Matterhorn as seen from a much higher elevation than I showed you in our very first post from Zermatt, a few days ago. As yesterday evening’s post noted, I’ve now amassed many lovely images and experiences of sunny landscapes full of mountains – and, especially beginning with yesterday’s delightful multi-connection journey from Zermatt over to Bissone (in Ticino Canton, the southernmost part of Switzerland) – quite a few more of lovely lakes and lakeside towns and villages with mountains rising behind them. These lovely sunny views will hopefully boost me in the darker rainier A’dam months days ahead. On the purely photo side, they also mean I’ll concentrate on these two series for a bit :-).
