Monochrome, but no less lovely

From one season to the next, this corner of the world changes is so much, it’s like living in a different land.  It is one of the many pleasures of living high in the Alps.

One sunny spring day last year, I walked around Embach and photographed some of the benches where residents and visitors enjoy the beauty of our mountain surroundings. You can see them on the blog I wrote last May 27^th, Misery, it’s a sight for sore eyes.

Just recently it was a grey day, light snow drifting down –a monochrome world. The benches are still there but look less inviting as a place to sit. Their wintry setting, though totally different, is equally attractive. The frost-rimed branches crouch over the snow-covered seats like a crone’s skinny arms attempting to protect them from the elements.

Every season has its beauty – even on grey, chilly days. But of course, when the sun shines, as it so often does here, Embach is second to none.
