Berne, Switzerland: Vivian sitting on the garden wall located behind the parliament building, with a view of the Aare River.

Berne, Switzerland (during the train trip from Zermatt to Zurich): Berne is Switzerland's capital city. In Berne, we hopped off the train for a few hours, just to walk around the parliament building and see the old town area, before continuing our journey to Zurich. On Berne's main cathedral, we noticed many fantastic gargoyles, but the one that amazed us most was this dog-gargoyle. Once again, it may be that only the dog lovers in our audience can understand our fascination with this doggy gargoyle!]]> Gallery Administrator photo Thu, 17 Nov 2005 16:59:22 -0800 https://www.blacksdesign.com/gallery/main.php?g2_itemId=924 https://www.blacksdesign.com/gallery/main.php?g2_itemId=924

Zermatt, Switzerland: Walking around town after our Alpine hike. The weather changes fast in the mountains - the morning started sunny, but a very light rain moved in during the afternoon.]]> Gallery Administrator photo Thu, 17 Nov 2005 16:58:08 -0800 https://www.blacksdesign.com/gallery/main.php?g2_itemId=918 https://www.blacksdesign.com/gallery/main.php?g2_itemId=918

Zermatt, Switzerland: No mountain engineering feat seems too difficult for the Swiss. This part of the trail is not cut from the mountain - it is simply a man-made shelf, tacked onto the side of the mountain.]]> Gallery Administrator photo Thu, 17 Nov 2005 16:56:49 -0800 https://www.blacksdesign.com/gallery/main.php?g2_itemId=909 https://www.blacksdesign.com/gallery/main.php?g2_itemId=909
Zermatt, Switzerland: Standing at the bottom of the glacier-cut valley. We took the previous photo from the top of the ridge at right. The ridge is comprised of glacial moraine - loose rock deposits left behind by the melting glacier.]]> Gallery Administrator photo Thu, 17 Nov 2005 16:56:10 -0800 https://www.blacksdesign.com/gallery/main.php?g2_itemId=906 https://www.blacksdesign.com/gallery/main.php?g2_itemId=906
Zermatt, Switzerland: Incredible view of a fresh glacier-cut valley. The glaciers are receeding fast. Very fast. Less than 100 years ago, the glacier filled this valley. Now, one has to hike a few kilometers up the valley to see it.]]> Gallery Administrator photo Thu, 17 Nov 2005 16:55:35 -0800
