Description

The huts have still to wait a bit.... Too many flowers attract my attention. Maybe a good reaon to get back my breath as well! :) Those huts are built in several ways, the older ones by using horsepowers or cables and the modern ones by using choppers. Once acclimatised to the harsh environment it is not that difficult to build a hut and usually Swiss builders build their houses in a way they can withstand bad weather very well. So I mentioned about the many flowers that are blooming here. Like this one, the mount cenis bellflower (Campanula cenisia) that blooms with many leafy rosettes around it. On these heights it's really at home, ascending elevations above 2500 meter they start to look better and better!

Its amazing how the heart will beat heavily when hiking at these altitudes. Ascend a little more and your heart will pound even more with thunder. But a little break will make all the difference. Glad these beautiful flowers caught your attention to acclimate. And best of it all, we can enjoy the beauty you captured. Excellent. Aloha

Bellflower was a suburb of Long Beach, California which is a suburb of Los Angeles. There is a street by that name that connects where one late night six unknown assailants attacked my car with heavy steel rod sections while it was waiting for a traffic light. Later in th year I drag raced a 67 SS Chevelle down that same section with my white 66 SS. It was fender to fender through 4 gears until the business district approached. Then I let him go. I respond to bid requests. I'm the closer for troubled proposals.

Che belle le Campanule Jan-Carel !!! The flowers in Mountain are always more impressive for me, than in another place. Did you feel that too ? I don't know why ! There's something very touching in this shot, maybe because these little flowers seems to grown on the rock... Superb shot, and beautiful colors for this natural bouquet ! Have a good day my friend. Hugs. V

Oh aren't those just the prettiest little flowers?! I would've stopped too. Of course, I'd be darned lucky by now to of made it this far. You've got me panting and I'm not even there with you. Got to bring in the choppers for those huts huh? WOW!!! We are really high up here then. Now you make sure to take a long enough break before continuing. hug Thanks for the view.

Pretty campanules you found, just at the good moment When i take little trips in Nature, I search more flora and animals on the ground and often stopping, that my progeny jokes about : " mum's flair in action "! q:)
