Description

I am awed by those human beings who run their lives and earn their living away from the madding crowd, such as the owners of those farmsteads and chalets perched on top of this impregnable slanted rocky fortress off the little village of Isenfluh (Switzerland)...close to heaven! I took this photo two weeks ago as I was hiking just opposite, on the Schynige Platte, facing the three Alpine giants reaching about 4,000 metres in altitude: Jungfrau, MÃ¶nch and Eiger.

Je suis admiratif de ces êtres humains qui mènent leur vie et gagnent leur pain loin de la foule, comme les propriétaires de ces fermes et chalets perchés au sommet de cette forteresse imprenable, tout à côté du petit village d'Isenfluh, en Suisse...tout près du paradis! J'ai pris cette photo il y a quinze jours alors que je randonnais sur le plateau de la Schynige Platte, face aux trois géants alpins de 4000 mètres: la Jungfrau, le Münch et l'Eiger.

Thank you very much for your nice comments on my previous photo, always greatly appreciated. Have a nice week-end under the sun...

Il y a effectivement de quoi être admiratif ! D'un autre côté, je me dis qu'ils ont une qualité de vie incroyable, loin du stress, de la pollution et des problèmes engendrés par la proximité d'autres êtres humains... Une vue qui me laisse vraiment rêveuse ! Bon WE JL ! Bises Virginie

I can imagine it would never be difficult waking up early if you lived in a setting as awe inspiring as this. It's wonderful to know places like this still exist on earth. Thank you for sharing this incredible view. What a beautiful photo!

Just to come around a rocky ledge or hill and have this vista unfold before you is breathtaking. A visit I'm sure you will remember for a long time. Thanks for sharing.
