After rain, low-lying clouds fill the valleys in a constant state of flux. Looking back down the valley my eye was attracted to the roof-lines echoing the ridge lines of the lower slopes of the Mischabel chain of mountains.

I really like the lines of this — the clean rooflines juxtaposed with the mountains is so attractive. It took me a minute to figure out the “things” atop the roofs. Finally, it occurred to me: it’s cold there. Those are fireplace chimneys. Or so I think.

Yes, it gets cold out there in Switzerland in the winter and every building has heating and most have wood burning stoves – hence the chimneys. I have looked down the valley so often and never quite seen this image before – the low-lying clouds made all the difference.

Our mutual friend Adrian has sharpened my sense for lines and you underline it. 😉
Have a wonderful Sunday,

Thanks very much Dina. Lines can be so important but not in every image. It’s been a beautiful day here today – clear blue sky for the second half of the day.
