Hobbit valley, that's what I thought when I found this hidden valley, somewhere in Switzerland.

Fantastic, Paul!!! These people really know how to live. I love that roof, but I wouldn't want to have to repair it. That is probably so the snow comes right down without mounting up I guess.

You will be led to the knowledge of the internal things which are invisible to you, by the external things which you see before you. . . . Even so then, we can represent to ourselves in thought the Author of all that is, by contemplating and admiring the (visible) things which He has made, and ever brings into being.

It's beautiful, makes me want to go back to Switzerland. I can just smell the fresh mountain air. Lovely capture.

For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that everyone believing into Him should not perish but have eternal life.
Great post Paul. I like the threatening look of the clouds over the mountains and how the homestead looks like it would be a great shelter from the storm. This picture makes me feel safe. Great composition and colors.

I'll meet you at the edge of the sunlight, just behind the shadows. The Ghost
Paul, this is (again) a wonderful image. Not a common Swiss image we are used to. Thanks for the 'discovery'. Regards, Cornelius

Oh what a lovely place to discovere, and to just adore while you are there. How fortunate you were to come upon this Paul. Ilove how the clouds are hugging the rest of the photo...gosh I would love to be there !! Living or staying in one of those lovely homes. You captured the curve of the trees and the curve of the sky just perfectly...so wonderful!! Verena

As much as I love the landscape shots you have been sharing, I am fancinated with the buildings. The roof on these ones are so big. Great shot.

Very nice ! and totaly new to me, have no clue where it is, or is it Ballenberg again ?
I do have to correct Cindy a bit though, the steep slope of the roof is very unlike Switzerland. Normaly the angle is much less severe. In contrast to what was mentioned above in that reply, they want to let the snow lay down on the roof, this serves as a insulating blanket. Most houses in the country side are still heated by wood, so they can use the blanket of snow very well. On some houses, you can see electric wires, at the end of the seison, or when the snow layers get a dangerous hight, they heat the wire, and the snow melts. A very lazy but working system.
Okidoki, where whas this shot taken ?
