In case anyone’s trying to follow along, these are all taken looking away from the Matterhorn, i.e. looking north to the village of Zermatt and the mountains north and east of the Matterhorn across one or more valleys. And all from that first morning hike last Tuesday – I really am deleting a lot of photos, but everywhere one turns around here, one sees beauty and I do love to enjoy and share beauty, as my small but loyal band of readers knows :-).

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 :-).

Last shots from Geneva, til our next visit: the number of mountain shots I’ve amassed on this current visit in the US means I need no longer retain any of these lovely alp shots for future entries in that series 🙂

2023 saw my first — and second! — visit to Geneva, with the second visit giving me the chance to watch the sun rise over mountains and lakes in France and Switzerland (above), with distant views including Mt Blanc back in France on the “far side” of Switzerland, as it were, from the side on which our plane had entered. The return flight from that first visit was an evening flight that let me watch the sun set over France and then watch cities over France, Belgium and NL light up (below) before we came in for our landing at Schiphol here in A’dam. One gallery for each flight, below.
