Description
I am awed by those human beings who run their lives and earn their living away from the madding crowd, such as the owners of those farmsteads and chalets perched on top of this impregnable slanted rocky fortress off the little village of Isenfluh (Switzerland)...close to heaven! I took this photo two weeks ago as I was hiking just opposite, on the Schynige Platte, facing the three Alpine giants reaching about 4,000 metres in altitude: Jungfrau, Mönch and Eiger.
Je suis admiratif de ces êtres humains qui mènent leur vie et gagnent leur pain loin de la foule, comme les propriétaires de ces fermes et chalets perchés au sommet de cette forteresse imprenable, tout à côté du petit village d'Isenfluh, en Suisse...tout près du paradis! J'ai pris cette photo il y a quinze jours alors que je randonnais sur le plateau de la Schynige Platte, face aux trois géants alpins de 4000 mètres: la Jungfrau, le Münch et l'Eiger.
Thank you very much for your nice comments on my previous photo, always greatly appreciated. Have a nice week-end under the sun...

Quand j'étais jeune, on ne m'aurait pas fait vivre en dehors d'une ville pour tout l'or du monde...maintenant que je suis moins jeune (il n'y a pas de vieux ici !!!), je me demande...c'est vrai que c'est superbe, paisible, à l'abri des pollutions en tous genres...Si je montre cette belle photo à ma femme, je suis bon pour l'emmener là-bas dès demain !

Wonderful scene my friend, great capture.
Breath-taking and sublime! I too agree with you about this style of life; and yet, as difficult as it may be in some respects, just as rewarding---especially if one can wake up and go to sleep with views like such.... bountiful with the beauties of nature... nothing can compromise that... Lovely composition!
