Here I am, with my wife Tanja, my son Bas (8) and my daughter Julia (5) on top of the world above the Aletch Glacier in Switzerland.
Greetings to you all!
Oh yes, my kids do love the mountains, but for an entirely different reason. You see, in the past they did not like the mountains and so we thought of a little game in which they would find "treasures" like mineral stones along the way.
That in fact spoiled them, because now I cannot dissapoint them anymore and I have to buy and stow away mineral stones along the trail...
But we all get our own treasures in the end so it works out well for all of us!

Oh my Goodness...what an incomprensible scene you have become a part of...simply and yet so engaging... beautiful Paul...and now to leave my sweet words about your family....
The children and your wife are positively lovely...gorgeous and the children are so precious Paul...a very fortunate man you are my dear!!
I remember your wife from an earlier posting of yours...you were both on horses...riding them on the beach! What fun that must have been...I thought at the time...your wife is lovely and athletic...as well...two marvelous attributes to call your own...I too... love to be on the move all the time as well as I know you do....running is my thing!!
Hope you had a wonderful time away...and incidentally...I think your little game you employed... to help interest your children in the mountains...it worked...Yeah!!
Happy to see your return...so now get busy with the photos...I know you must have many you would love to share!!
Well hello there Paul...how nice to finally meet you and your lovely family and what a gorgeous background to present yourselves...it looks like a wonderful experience for them and very creative of you to handle your children's uncertainties in that way...great memories for all of you...thanks for sharing with us.
Well, well, well...he finally reveals himself. Good heavens, I had you pictured as being much older. Don't know why. Probably because of your high quality images, I figured this guy has to be "old" and "experienced". (Thorry). Wonderful photo. It's a keeper...owd man.

What a GREAT looking family, Paul! I, too, had you pictured as being older because of the depth and "wisdom" that comes through in your work. No problem . . . I juat have to get used to thinking of you as a wise YOUNG man - - (I've always envisioned you as good looking and you've proven me right in that regard.) Thanks for sharing this great family shot!

beautiful mountains and a beautiful family too, i love how blonde your kids are! nice to meet you and your wife , and i always thought you would be older too... funny how you get an impression of what someone is like from their shots!!
Hi Paul ! very nice to meet you and your family. The last time i was here was in 2006 and i can still hear the deep roar caused by the waterfalls down the Eggishorn. I might go back here just to admire it again in August. Thanks for sharing.
The backdrop you chose to share your family with us is breathtakingly beautiful Paul! Your wife looks like someone I could sit and chat with for quite awhile and your darling angels have that beautiful white/blond hair.
The game you came up to amuse your children as you hiked throughout the mountains is a treasure in itself! Good thinking!!
Many thanks for sharing this with me. It is great to 'meet & greet' your family! :=)
Wonderful, Paul! I am so glad that you posted this. Now, I can see who it is that offers such wonderful and knowledgeable advice and information on photography. You have a great looking family there and you take wonderful shots both in back and in front of the camera! What a fabulous place you chose for this holiday. Give them all my very best good wishes!

Please, even if you don't visit my gallery, check out my "Faves".I've left them intact since day "1", and would like it if every image there got the attention they deserved.
Superb shot!
