Weekly Photo Challenge: Scale

Location: Murren, Switzerland
 
Murren is a small village town located 5,413 feet above sea level. it’s inaccessible by car. It took two aerial lifts to get there. From Lauterbrunnen Valley, we rode the cable car going to Gimmelwald and then switched over to another cable car to Murren.

I think Emily Dickinson will be happy to be here even if she doesn’t venture out. From the window of her hotel room, she’ll have a spectacular view of the village and surrounding alps to serve as her inspiration.

For those who like to roam around, the clean mountain air provides the perfect setting for adventure and exploration. If there’s a caveat, distance can be deceiving. Expect that going from Point A to Point B will likely be farther than initially thought. This is especially true when hiking uphill. Good luck! Don’t scale back! If a rookie like me can do it, so can you.
 

The Angle of a Landscape — That every time I wake — Between my Curtain and the Wall Upon an ample Crack — Like a Venetian — waiting — Accosts my open eye — Is just a Bough of Apples — Held slanting, in the Sky — The Pattern of a Chimney — The Forehead of a Hill — Sometimes — a Vane’s Forefinger — But that’s — Occasional — The Seasons — shift — my Picture — Upon my Emerald Bough, I wake — to find no — Emeralds — Then — Diamonds — which the Snow From Polar Caskets — fetched me — The Chimney — and the Hill — And just the Steeple’s finger — These — never stir at all — – Emily Dickinson

Weekly Photo Challenge: Seasons

Location: Murren, Switzerland

It was the greek philosopher, Heraclitus, who once said that change is central to the universe. Nothing stands still. When everything is in constant motion, the best that we can do is to live in the moment and enjoy the ride.

For this week’s challenge, let me share you a picture that I took in Murren, Switzerland along with a poem I’d written sometime ago.

SEASONS   as seasons come and go that now i know life is a series of hellos and goodbyes a cliche but so true sometimes i think of what could have been of the past that won’t come back again sometimes i wonder of what it’s been of the present that brings unexpected things sometimes i dream of what it will be of the future that seems distant to me but this i’m certain without you there is no heaven that now i know as seasons come and go

Inside Switzerland: Murren and the Swiss Alps

 
It was raining when we crossed over into Switzerland, but it wasn’t enough to damp (no pun intended) my spirit. I’d been looking forward to this trip for a long time and finally it happened.

We stayed in Murren located 5,413 feet above sea level. It’s a small village town that is inaccessible by car. It took two aerial lifts to get there. From Lauterbrunnen Valley, we rode the cable car going to Gimmelwald and then switched over to another cable car to Murren.
