The Matterhorn

    For most of my life, I've generally only known the Matterhorn for the ride in Disneyland! I mean, I always knew it was a real mountain... and I've seen photos of it and stuff... but seeing it there in the middle of the Alps was really cool.

    I think I was lucky while here in Zermatt, Switzerland. I understand that it is often occluded by clouds, so this was a lucky day indeed!

    Zermatt was a really great little town -- I'd love to go back and spend some more time there!

      could be that real ?

    23. casch52 (18 months ago | reply)

      WOW! Stunning shot. I would love to go there. It amazes me that they have to put observatories in the worst awful places (not meaning the town or Switzerland). I just hate being cold.

      The Matterhorn in summer

      Here are a couple of shots I took the week before from the same spot. We were on a tour and took the train to Gornergrat from Zermatt. The day started clear but the clouds came in during our visit. Did you get to see the Mountain Goats? Keep up the great work!
