Hoping that you enjoyed Pieter's pictures, for most of my readers it is probably quite new...
Stay tuned for more from beautiful Switzerland!

  1. Hello Mariette, I just did some reading about Davos. Apparently, in addition to spectacular views and skiing, it also hosts conferences for the World Economic Forum, and formerly was a treatment center for TB--one of the patients was Robert Louis Stevenson.

    1. Dearest Jim,
      Yes, you are right about Davos being a treatment center for TB as we learned that at school and got to see images of patients being lined up in beds.
      The World Economic Forum got started about 8 years after Pieter went there.
      Hugs,
      Mariette

    1. Dearest Tammy,
      Yes, that sure is an excellent photo and it captured the heavy snowfall and the mountains well.

    1. Dearest Victor,
      No, I've never traveled there... It was Pieter who gave some much appreciated advice in mushroom growing to his Swiss friends. In return, they let him stay at their 2nd home so he could enjoy skiing.
      Hugs,
      Mariette

  4. I never knew that Davos was the highest town in all of Europe, Mariette. Pieter's photos from the ski lift are breathtaking! Such a quaint and lovely town.
    Blessings!

    1. Dearest Martha Jane,
      Most towns are build deep(er) down in the protected valleys.
      It was quite a sight of winter beauty in that area, would have enjoyed that too.
      Hugs,
      Mariette

  5. Oh my gosh Mariette, wonderful series of photos here and last post, Pieter was indeed a good photographer! The snow looks amazing, I'm still hoping to see snow this year in July. I do have a weakness for old black and white photos ✨

    1. Dearest Grace,
      Thank you for the compliment.
      It was quite a load of snow too, that makes things look different.
      Black and white photos do look great!
      Hugs,

  7. Con la gran cantidad de nieve que hay, no me extraña que los deportes de inviernos sean de fama mundial.

    1. Querida Antónia,
      De hecho, tienen una gran capa de nieve en la región de Davos. Al menos Pieter disfrutó de su tiempo esquiando y fotografiando allí.
      Abrazos,
      Mariette

  9. Hej Mariette, mooie serie foto's van het verblijf van Pieter in Zwitserland. Hij had het skiën snel onder de knie. Dat was een aangenaam verblijf van werk en vrije tijd. Fijne dag, lieve groet Willy

    1. Beste Willy,
      Het waren voor Pieter ook erg mooie en ontspannende tijden. Skiën zowel als schaatsen kon hij ook goed.
      Liefs,
      Mariette
