Thanks for these pics. I always am struck by the esthetic intersection of mountain wilderness with agriculture. It always looks like home to me. ;^)
It’s no wonder so many Swiss people move to British Columbia! In several BC communities I’ve lived in, including my present settlement, the largest immigrant group is Swiss.

Thanks for the ping! That’s gorgeous scenery! My ancestors on my mother’s side came from Switzerland. I’ve always wanted to take a vacation and explore the beauty of that country.

That is just gorgeous! There are only a few places in Europe that I would be interested in seeing, but Switzerland is one of them.
