Sun versus Shade

A day trip took us to Sisikon,

a small village nestled in Alpine shade.

Chilled to the bone, we took a photograph, 

boarded a northbound train

and disembarked at Schwyz, Switzerland.

Here we found sunshine, trails, and

green pastures.

Our two-hour uphill hike rewarded us with

this vista, a view that reminded us of

the Columbia River Gorge, specifically Angels' Rest.

Among our sightings was this tool. From it we learned:

when the handle of a shovel breaks, 

find a tree limb, attach, and resume work.

Now that's recycling.

Next time: Baden: a castle, a fort, and the bridge in-between
