    A Foggy Sunrise at Lake Sils & Ofenpass

    25. lokakuuta 2023, Sveitsi ⋅ ☁️ 5 °C

    Today began with an ambitious mission – to capture the elusive sunrise at Lake Sils. As I set out, I couldn't help but notice the thick shroud of fog that enveloped the landscape. Hopeful that the fog would lift by the time I reached the lake, I pressed on.

    Unfortunately, the fog persisted, obscuring the sunrise that I had hoped to witness. Nevertheless, I persevered, and the moody, misty atmosphere added an unexpected and mystical quality to my photographs. It was a testament to the unpredictability of nature and the beauty it could offer even when plans didn't go as expected.

    Back at our apartment, Sylvie and our faithful Border Collies, Awen and Nessy, joined me. We decided to embark on a new adventure, taking a scenic drive over the Ofenpass. The journey presented us with breathtaking views of the Engadin region, and the dogs enjoyed the wind in their fur as we navigated the winding roads.

    Even when the weather didn't align with our desires, each moment in St. Moritz was an opportunity to embrace the beauty of the present, whether it was in the mystical fog at Lake Sils or the majestic vistas from the Ofenpass. Our journey had been a reminder to appreciate every facet of nature's wonders, and we looked forward to whatever surprises the next day had in store for us.    Lue lisää

    Mother Nature had a different plan for today - a day filled with relentless rain. While photography proved to be quite a challenge in these conditions, we were determined to make the most of the day.

    Undeterred by the weather, we embarked on a two-hour walk through the forest and around the picturesque lake in St. Moritz.

    Our second day in St. Moritz promised more natural wonders and relaxation. This time, we set our sights on Val Bever, a pristine valley known for its enchanting beauty.

    A Frosty Morning Welcome

    Our journey to St. Moritz in the enchanting Engadin region began with a late arrival, but it was the next morning that truly marked the beginning of our holiday. I awoke to a magical sight – a gentle dusting of snow had fallen during the night. It was a tantalizing preview of the adventures that lay ahead.

    While the world outside was still cloaked in dawn's embrace, I decided to embark on a quiet morning adventure with Awen, our loyal Border Collie. Together, we trekked to the breathtaking Laj Stalej da Staz, hoping to capture the essence of this serene landscape at sunrise. The moment the first light touched the Engadin valley, we were treated to a panorama that took our breath away. Wisps of fog danced gracefully over the valley, while the trees showcased their vibrant autumn hues. The recent snowfall had adorned the landscape with a delicate white veil, creating a captivating contrast with the warm autumn tones.

    Later in the afternoon we decided to take in the snowy wonderland at Muottas Muragl, a destination known for its stunning panoramic views. Awen and Nessy, our two faithful Border Collies, eagerly joined us on this snowy adventure. The ascent to Muottas Muragl was an experience in itself, with the pristine surroundings and the soft crunch of fresh snow beneath our feet.

    Upon reaching the summit, our senses were overwhelmed by the awe-inspiring vistas that stretched before us. The Engadin valley, framed by snow-dusted peaks, seemed like a picture from a postcard. The crisp, clean air invigorated us, and we couldn't resist building a snowman with the dogs, their energy and excitement infectious.

    After a memorable day exploring Muottas Muragl, we made our way back to our cozy apartment, eager to warm up and relive the highlights of our day.    Lue lisää

    Our final day in Normandy arrived, and it was a reminder that even the most enchanting journeys must come to an end. However, this day began with a unique set of circumstances, as Awen had injured his paw and needed some rest and care.

    In times like these, when a cherished companion is in need, it becomes a day for taking it easy and finding solace in the simple pleasures of life. Awen's well-being took precedence, and we ensured that he received the attention and care he needed.

The rhythmic sound of the waves, the endless expanse of the sea, and the sandy shores were a reminder of the tranquility that nature can bring.

    Swimming in the cool waters of the ocean offered a sense of rejuvenation, a moment of communion with the natural world. It was a way to unwind and let the worries of the world wash away.

    As we returned to our temporary home in Normandy, we spent the remainder of the day in the company of our beloved Border Collies, cherishing the moments of togetherness and the shared experiences of our journey.    Lue lisää
