[Notas - Normas] Nota do Artista
Inspired by the Friday theme I add a recent photo, shot last Sunday, from Gonergrat hotel terrace, during our winter vacation in Valais, Switzerland.
It’s the beautiful mountain Matterhorn one of the most impressive European peak.
It was the last of the European major mountains to be conquered by Edward Whymper on 14 July 1865.

P.S. Also I believe this is the sweetest rock in the theme, because Matterhorn inspired the form of the famous Swiss chocolate Toblerone.

That is my families favorite chocolate... I can not keep it in the house long...
The dog looks so perfect in front of the mountain.. just like he belongs! :)
Nice clear shot of Matterhorn

And a "sweet" image for the Friday theme Sorina. Like the addition of the St Bernard. Changes the nice image to an interesting one. Really lots of blues in the snow - Brrrrrr!

This has got to be my favorite for the rock theme I've seen so far today. Very nice! The St. Bernard in the foreground is a good accompaniment for this famous peak. Beautiful!

Hi Sorina
You sur got the sweetest rock of the theme today. A marvelous landscape with great colors and splendid composition. By the way, what's the dog doing there?

Thanks for sharing

The Matterhorn is nearly as well known as Mt Everest... I have seen a few TV programs on the Matterhorn and it can be a very dangerous place to climb too.
Good image Sorina, and having the dog placed where it is is well done

Hi Sorina,
Wonderful photo of this well known place! Your composition is strong using this beautiful mountain as background. The play of shadows and light carves more its snow-covered plans. Vivid blue colors on the sky and well rendered of the shades on the snow. It is interesting to see the pose of the dog in the foreground. He seems the guardian of this place. Excellent entry for the theme! Congratulations! Annie

you forget to mentioned the famous st bernard dog that always together with the Swiss Rock Mountain.. hehe never mind. beautiful shot you have here, Sorina :) well composed with fine detail, sharpness and composition..

i love eating toblerone :) have a nice weekend.

regards, terry

Toblerone: My favorite chocolate :) :)

Beautiful image you have Sorina, I love the inclusion of the St.Bernard (is his cask full?).

Hello Sorina

Beautiful visual
A class of it recounts and knowledge, I know the chocolate for here and things like this we don't have a lot of details.
I adored to see the most popular dog of saving mountaineers with his chocolate barrel.
The famous " São Bernardo " known here in Brazil.
Beautiful presentation Sorina!

acuma se vede ca ai progresat f tare....ai putea sa faci ramele mult mai discrete. Boala ramelor am avut-o si eu, incet incet mi-a trecut...o rama subtire si simpla e tot ce ai nevoie, retul...distrage de la fotografie.

Hi Sorina - having that lovely St Bernard in the foreground really does make a cracking difference, it lifts the whole shot considerably. This is a lovely image, very well presented.

Let me only say:
You passed your exams!!

This is also a place I have in my memories
In 1999 we made a high attitude stage in this area
Before we went to Nepal to find the real big ones
Prity shot of this place just above Zermat I think
