What do YOU THINK of when you think of SWITZERLAND ?
As in - what kind of IMAGES pop up in your head ?
Forget about the Cheese and Chocolates.
Forget about the Watches.
Forget about the Ski-ing.
And,Forget about the Banking and Insurance.
What I mean is :
......what kind of images come to your mind, when you picture.....
......what you believe, or think, the Country of Switzerland, looks like ????
Be, these images - "Borrowed" - from a TV show, a Film, a Documentary, a Magazine, or Brochure.
Even someone you know, who has been to Switzerland, and, who has shown you their photos !
Of course, if you have visited Switzerland, yourself / selves, then, do, please, feel free, to either; Agree; Or; Disagree, with the point of this Post ! :)
THIS COUNTRY OF SWITZERLAND REALLY DOES LOOK LIKE "The Postcards"....!
All of the Image-Sources, showing you, them, he, she, us, me, Dear Reader, Upon Living in the Country, for a while, myself....
ARE TRUE !!
( Virtually...keep that "In mind", for : "Until Next Time".......) ;-)
The Picture-Postcard of a "Kind of - Type of- Perfection - of -The Picturesque" are actually TRUE !!
Allow me to share with you, some examples, taken with, errhm, CFC`s Camera, thus far, on her-this "Journey"... :
Well, that just about, does it !!
Have tried to "Cover All The Seasons", especially because SWITZERLAND REALLY DOES HAVE ALL THE SEASONS.
Yes, the Winter`s are indeed, long, and COLD, with lots of Snow.
But, this Snow, and Ice, poses very little of a problem to THE SWISS, they are extremely efficient at dealing with Snow and Ice, on ALL LEVELS !!! No more said :)
That... what you may have heard about ....?.... Is ALSO TRUE !
There is most definitely a Spring, with lots of wild flowers in the grass.
The Summer`s can get very HOT - regularly up into the 30-35 degrees centigrade.
So a nice jump, into Zurich Lake, and, or, Many of the other Big, and, Small Lakes, dotted about the Country, are a real pleasure. I don`t know, how many Lakes, there are in Total, in Switzerland, but there are : Lots, and Lots !
And, as in, the rest of, this part of the Planet, it also stays Light until 21.00 - 22.00 hrs, too, in Summer.
Even, the smallest Flats, with the smallest Balconies, mostly have a Barbecue, which The SWISS PEOPLE, really like to use, and make the most of.
And, so to Autumn, our "Current Season", where the colours are, without a doubt; BreathTaking.
There are so many different types of Beauty, in Nature, in People; How to Compare ? And How to Quantify ?
Well, for me, there is no Competition.
Each has one`s own taste, and opinion, preference, etc, etc.
And, this can always change !?....
Sooooo Many Picturesque Places, All Over This Planet.
How to get to See them All, and Experience them All, in one`s LifeTime...???
Well - Dear Reader - SWITZERLAND, is certainly ONE OF THEM !
Until Next Time. Thanks For Reading.
Yours, CFC x
