My top 10 by Gaynor

I am privileged to share my photographs with you. As others have found, it has been difficult to choose only ten photographs - and for a Libran it was nigh on impossible! I really should say ‘we’ because the photographs will have been taken by me, or by Tim, my husband.

I decided to very loosely use the theme of mountains and lakes, and most of the photographs were taken during our many stays in the French/Swiss Alps.


Mountains are my passion, so I hope you can see something to interest you. None have been cropped, so they are just as they were taken.

Here goes ......




























Taken near the summit of the Schilthorn mountain in Switzerland. What you can't see is that about 100m away is the revolving 'James Bond' restaurant!

  4. Fabulous series of photos Gaynor and Tim and I can visualise the revolving restaurant as I know that very spot, although not minus snow. :)

  6. That was almost like sharing a holiday in the mountains - blessed relief from the scorching weather we've had here the last few days!

    Thank you. :-)

  7. Ah. For this one who has traveled little out of the U.S. (but scoured it pretty thoroughly), this was a truly beautiful journey. I love the two craggy red ones that follow the waterfall, but who can choose, really, among dazzling photographs from the top of the world? Thank you!

  8. Whoa.

    I live in the midwest. LOL We don't GET mountains....at all.
    So this is majory awesome.

    I checked each one out and closed the photos with that same sense of 'right sized-ness' that undoubtedly needs to happen for folks like me. Humbled about how really 'small' I am in the grand scheme of things--and I like that.
    They're awesome photos--and please thank himself for his contributions in this collection. They're ALL awesome!

  9. Thank you for your kind comments. We thoroughly enjoyed being in a position to see the sights and take the photographs.

    From these photographs, and all of the ones I see regularly on this blog, our world certainly is a beautiful place ..........
