Sunset in the Mountains by maggiemae

Sunset in the Mountains

Got this photo at 4.52 pm when the sun officially sank down behind this endless range of mountains. The day was spent in the hotel watching the activities of tourists and workers. We need this space for rest.
Three good things:
1. Once more the tourists take the last gondola downwards at 4.30 and we are left - only two couples in the whole hotel! Its weird.
2. A guy with lots of clips for hanging off rocks jangled past now and then. Our tv is now going - he must have fixed the fallen transmitter!
3. John went out on to a cold and icy terrace and yodelled!
Sounds wonderful yet slightly mixed! Hope you have been enjoying your Swiss adventure. Your pictures are lovely.

One needs the time and space to recharge the batteries from time to time -- what a wonderful place to do this ! Did John's yodelling echo through the mountains !!

@louannwarren I did, Lou Ann but I don't think he would approve of me posting it anywhere!

@onewing Yes, you are forced by the environment to relax in a chair and just admire the view!

@maggiemae Yes, men aren’t crazy about being in videos. You can attach it to emails to your children! Smile.

A wonderful view! Didn't you join John yodelling?

Super capture of that gorgeous sky scape and light

@gijsje I can't yodel, Bep - you have to work your throat for that! But John can if he practices.

What a wonderful view to have

Another bow to John's Arriw, what can that man not do! I should think the only option half way up that mountain is to stay warm & rest! You need that break sometimes! A fire & a good book plus a drink in the other hand! Bliss!

@happypat Haven't heard that expression for years, Pat! No fires up here - central heating but chairs with the most incredible views!

and did mr. cool get any response for his yodelling? :-D aces on this shot, maggiemae. what breathtaking view you have!

Would have loved to hear John yodeling! I haven't been following you to know if you were in the alps or not. I heard something about bad weather there and terrible conditions. I didn't know I needed to be worrying about you.

@grammyn No worries, Katy - it was elsewhere in Switzerland that they had snowfall and storms. We were lucky with 3 fine days!
