Today @lellabird and I have started a little tour of the Valais area of Switzerland by way of The Semplon Pass. Today we've stopped in Blatten for a few days and it's just beautiful!

Would you like to see? Let's go:

@kus-knee,
I like this photography! There is a saying in my country, once in life we must visit Switzerland! Today I have found why there is a saying which specially mentioned "Switzerland"! This is amazing! Actually a beautiful scenery!

Cheers~

Thanks a lot. We're loving it here!

BEAUTIFUL doesn't do it justice! Ya'll have fun! That photo of the stone roof blows me away........... the detail in that work is incredible and the wood to deflect the rain...... say I'm strange but that photo jumped out at me. Very kool!

We were discussing this evening the unusual building styles in this area. It's so different from the area of Switzerland that live in.

Hello dear friend, I am happy to introduce myself to you. I am @ecxiquia04, I have been impressed by your photographs, that place where you have chosen to start your holidays, the beautiful, a piece of paradise on earth, is something that disconnects you from your day to day, anyone has a good time in that place , although for romantic people like us, it is even better, I hope to continue enjoying everything that shows us from now on, I want to enjoy with you every step of your holidays, happy beginning of a wonderful weekend. Greetings from Venezuela.

What you wrote me is so very kind!

It was a real pleasure, because it was what came out of my heart, when I write a comment, I do not, just to do it and earn some extra points, I do not do it with that intention, if I do. "I'm going to tell someone, is what I see in your publication, with my soul and my heart, and what my soul sees is what I translate in my lines, I am happy to follow you in everything you do and lived daily.

Gorgeous! Enjoy your time my dear brother!

Thanks so
Much!

Thanks so much!

Most wellcome dear.

Wow! You have chosen a great place to relax, my friend! Probably dizzy in your head from such beauty, because the beer on your table is standing so interesting :) You always surprise me your creativity!

Yes it's wonderful here. Just a few days though!

Enjoy my friend - your German buddy has to wait und find a job until he can go on holidays. Have a lovely break!

You’ll find one! You’re a talented man with much to offer.

Stay positive!

Aside from a few months here and there decades ago I’ve never had a job!

Thanks mate - I have a lot of talks right now and sure I will not end on the streets - how could I, have to cover the girls lol - but it is a situation I never had and never thought to have at all. Currently major thought - secure permanent job or go the risky way taking offers for own business with higher potential but also higher risk.

I'm not too sure what unemployment insurance is like there but I hope that it gives you a decent buffer zone while you sort things out.

You'll do great just don't let yourself get down!

I m not planning to use this unemployment insurance stuff at all - I hope it will work, still have 10 weeks to find something adequate.

I admire that!!!

Hot donk old dawg!! That place looks spectacular!! Enjoy the vacay! and its only day 1!!

Thanks so much!

Omg!all pics are so beautiful !You make our tour to the most beautiful country of the world.Thank u so much dear friend,have fun in this beauty land.

Thanks so much!

What a beautiful views, europe looks as beauty as south america so i have to visit italy,france and ireland i've been seen some amazing places of that countries and i love it. Regards

He creator has given us a marvellous planet. We need to take care of it.

Great words man, respect for you

That’s great, amazing and lovely pictures.

Thanks for the visit!

@kus-knee my brother i have to see some more pictures about your travel

OK. Please tell me more about your avatar. I'm curious!

ha!!

Amazing those stone shingles! That plus a good load of snow means you better have a sturdy roof!!

It is hard to believe that the roof could hold all of that weight but it has down so for 100's of years!

You choose a great place for vacation. Very beautiful and clean.
And you have luck with the weather too.

It's pretty well impossible to go wrong with Switzerland. The only drawback is that it's a fair bit more expensive than almost any outher European country.

wuao what beautiful images a paradise, give yourself the best holidays enjoy them friend blessings
have a happy weekend

Thanks so much!

Que lindas fotografias @kus-knee espero disfrutes tus vacaciones que bien merecidas las tienes. Saludos

Scrivo in Italiano perché non parlo Spagniolo. Grazie e tanto bene cose a te!

@kus-knee Hello my best friend how are you.very wonderful photography my best friend. I like it your great full post. thanks for sharing your beautiful life .

All the photographs are awesome and the place you selected seems to be heaven. Switzerland has no comparison on beauty. Its my favorite country. @kus-knee / Old dog you are lucky who spent time in these beauties. Stay blessed.

Thanks friend. Have you visited Switzerland?

Still not visited. But its my desire to visit the beauty of switzerland.

Thank you very much for including us in your travels
I wish you a wonderful weekend

Thanks so much. It is very beautiful here!

The weather was very good. The clouds are very bright. The sky is dark blue. The surrounding environment is very beautiful.

Yes, yes, yes and yes!

Absolutely

i wish you have very good times.... :)

Appreciated!

Ooo so pretty all this flowers in fully bloom, and I really like the wooden chalets, they do give a romantic view, enjoy your well deserved vacation @kus-knee 😉👍🏻

Wow Vee! I've been missing you so much! I hope that you are well!

Yes I’m ok , but my pc is crashed and I’ve lost my passwords to enter so I have to do everything on my phone now , it’s a bit more difficult because I can’t open to pages at once ... stupid me , I copied the password on a paper but I just cannot log in on my new pc 😌
Sweet of you that you thought of me 😊

This place is very quiet and quiet. I love and love this environment very much. Your photography is great. I think you like the area very much.

Yes it's lovely here!

This is looking so much fun it will be great to discover more of that place on your blogs keep sharing and most importantly keep enjoying :D

Thanks so much!

Have a good one.
The beer is lying down on purpose?

Thanks. I'm using a new Steemit editor and the photo just inserted itself that way. I thought that it looked original so I left it!!

You're welcome. Maybe the editor was trying to be intelligent and make the wrong decision. :-)

Hi Old dog, Absolutely brilliant location you stayed and tremendous landscaping view indeed. My heart deeply touched with your impressive photo clicks. Flowers, trees and mountains given cool & lovely feelings. I feel I stay there now.

I'm sure that you'd love it!

When I say Switzerland I do not think about banks, gold bars, watches or chocolate. I'm thinking of the mountains. Superb everything you showed us. I also think of the air purity!
I'm thinking of those extremely decorative panels, are they using wood in winter for fire?
I wish you a wonderful vacation!

They do use wood for fire but I imagine that those panels are purely decorative. I love them!

I think it is, I know you like ... I remember that I won a prize from you for a photo of such wood stacked for the winter.

Yes I remember also. The wood for the church heating.

Thank you! Remarkably, I wouldn't have thought you could remember because it took some time and you've probably seen hundreds and hundreds of pictures.

I guess that my brain still works quite well. :)

Yes, of course! I said the above thinking to my brain.

Looks like its almost in the middle of no where! Shame that mountain range off in the distance does not look so friendly. Leave them all behind and go on an adventure!

Enjoy the time away from all the stuff that keeps us way to busy!

Yes we shall enjoy our short time here!

Old Dog,
I wish you a pleasant and relaxed holiday.

Thanks!

I think you chose the right place for your vacation friend, I love seeing so much beauty together is a paradise, enjoy them I'm sure you deserve them

Yes we are enjoying the surroundings!

This is wonderful.

I am sure your vacation will be quite successful you romantic old dog.

I hope so!
