Italy-Days 11-12


THE SWISS ALPS

 

It was a long two hour trip but it was worth it. I saw mountains and waterfalls, green forests and crystal clear pools of water. My favorite part was when I climbed off the path on my own and took pictures from higher altitudes to take wonderful pictures and feel the wonderfull, cool, fresh, and clean air rush across my face. My jouney to the Swiss Alps was yet another unforgetable experience.

 

The only thing I can say about this is that I call it "The beautiful scenery"

 

This one I like because of its composition. It has the water in the front and the mountains in the back, the rays of light shining through the mountains gives it just the right touch.

 

This is a picture of me and Alexandro, it sort of gives you a feeling of the terrain I was on though the size is hundereds of time bigger in real life.

 

In this picture you see a different kind of montains, dry and rocky. Here you see Danato, Teresa, Joseph, and me.

 

This photograph is the best one I have of a some what snowy, beautiful mountain.

 

I liked this photo a lot because not only is it pretty but it shows you six different "terranes" Starting from the bottom there is the water, then the rock, then the somewhat grassy rock, then the pinkish rocky mountains, then the snowy green mountains, then last but not least the sky.

 

On this jouney in to the Alps I saw tons of waterfalls but wasn't able to catch them on film. Then I saw this little one and said I'll get my wterfalll no matter what size it is. (the others fell from mountain tops to the ground or other great distances) Any way I told the family I would be back in a minute and I went off climing the small distance to take this picture. Now the I have blabed on and on we will move on.

 

I wanted to show you this to show you what the trees were like they were huge and beautiful.

 

Oh one last thing "We got cows"
