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...

I bet it truly was an awesome sight in person. I don't think I can imagine living so far from civilization like this. Spoiled I guess.... Wonderful capture. Aloha
Very beautiful....love those terrains....a fav with me!
Excellent shot of this beautiful and impressive landscape. What a place to live. A fantastic view.
Superb landscape.
Beautiful capture. Stunning lighting…
this is formidable! in an awe.
Beautiful scene. It gives me the sense that without the trees along the edge, one could just roll off...
Beauty of mother nature perfect catched! One of the finest mountain shots I have ever seen. What is its secret? I don`t know. Maybe the POV? It shows a stunning difference between us and nature. Humans and their flats looking like ants... We should think about from time to time.
This is like living in heaven!
Excellent capture.
looks right out of the book " Heidi" oh how i would love to go there !!!! gorgeous !!!! a real stunner !!!!
Beautiful, really fantastic capture JeanLuc. Glad to see you have been there, I love that beautiful country...Awesome...
I think I share your awe. It's truly amazing the things people can do to not only survive, but thrive in the unlikeliest places. To perch a homestead on that forbidding rocky spur is a magnificent achievement. All that said, your photo of it is also a real gem, great color and just enough detail to really make out the impressive terrain and the homestead perched on it.
This is God's Country... and I thought I lived in it.. WOW! Spectacular Capture!
This is great Jean-Luc. My kind of place.
sensational
I love this scene. Great work!
