Description

The next day we decide to explore a litte lake, the Aegelsee. On our way to this lake, not so far away from Diemtigen in the Simmental (valley of the river Simme), we get a vista on the mountains in the north east. Old tracks tell us a few people have been here before us. It's still early in the morning and the shadows are long.

They look like snowshoe tracks. Are you also on snoeshoes? I would hope so in all that snow. Such a pretty place.

There's so much blue in your last pictures, Jan-Carel. Is this normal?

Are you sure those tracks are made by "people"? It might be a Yeti or something. Who knows what creatures dwell in those mountains of yours....i guess its hard to tell when they always end up as red dots, LMAO. Looks like you once again reached a high altitude. Do you ever bring a sledge or something for a quick return back down? Beautiful and magnificent scenery. Have a great day JC! #:O)

I am intrigued by the tracks, Jan-Carel. Up ahead, for some reason, they diverge at one point. Perhaps a detour around the sleeping yeti ;o) Regards, John.

Oh oh.... you began a new serie. I love the previous one... but it's always a new adventure with you discovering a new place. Aegelsee and this view is superb. I love to see the snow, with the reflections of the sun on it. Tracks before yours.... grrrrrrrrrrr ! someone woke up earlier ? Probably tracks of the previous day... I'm waiting for the other shots ;o))))) Have a nice day Jan-Carel. hugs. V

This image almost seems like the snow is rushing down the slope. Beautiful background landscape. Aloha

Oh, to walk on snow like this with the mountains in the background is an experience that I would cherish. You have caught the sloping hill well. The footsteps add a new dimension to the picture. Well done!

What a wonderful place for an early morning hike. Reminds me much of my years in Alaska - burrr! I would also agree with Zacko and be ever watchful for other "wild things" along the trek. Beautiful!

When was it? Recently? I've been impressed, these past days, to see the amount of snow in Mt Jura. Absolutely incredible! We've been skiing yesterday in more than 40cm of fresh powder, same quality than in January. I guess walking to the kind of place you show us in such conditions must be a pain in the ***, isn't it?
