after a nervshaking drive the valley welcomed us. 
evening sun, soft billowing slopes. 
and those many, tiny, evenly spread out huts.

we came here for a termal bath or two...

i just want to say thank you for visits and comments here.
i hope to keep up the posting better than i have done the last months. 
i work full time now, and haven't learned how to use the little time that is left. 
there are still some swiss images i'd like to share, and the spring that finally arrived. 
happy spring to you!

"the formwork is made of spruce from trees that are felled every spring in the forest around 
the village. a carpenter cut the wood into boards of different widths, allowed it to dry, and 
then planed it. [...] when poured conrete is used, thought needs to be given to the 
appearence of the surface. [...] a total of five hundred rosettes are found on the structure. 
we could use our formwork between three and five times. one hundred and fifty rosettes 
were carved by hand in two months by two cabinet makers."
