Takes Me Away

January 9, 2012 by snapshotsandneedledrops

This is the climb up to the Upper Grindelwald Glacier or Oberer Grindelwaldgletscher, one of the lowest glaciers of the Alps at 1,400m. First we went up half of the 900 stairs so we could zip-line back down, before we headed all the way up to reach the glacier. The view from the top was absolutely magnificent. Grindelwald in situated in a valley right in the heart of Switzerland. It was the first place I went when I moved there and […]

This post is dedicated to Moon Balloon who is moving across the country tomorrow to start her next adventure. I wish you all the best Nams! This balloon will have to be our paper aeroplane today.

That Colourful Swiss Sky

June 9, 2011 by snapshotsandneedledrops

Today has been a good day. There’s been quite a lot of things going on lately, among them include my brother getting his pilot’s licence and I found a DVD full of photos from European travels that I thought I had lost! …. Okay, arguably it was a better day for him than me, but anyway this means that the images on this blog are going to get even more euro-centric. Starting with these, unfocused, images of the sky above the city […]
