Waking up in the Swiss Alps

My hometown Schuders in the Swiss Alps greeted me like this when I woke up this morning. We had some fresh snow last night. It's a good feeling to be back at my 82 year old mom's home.

 

The Schuders village with just 30 people is located higher up in the mountains of Graubünden, a canton in eastern Switzerland. From Wikipedia: Graubünden is known for its dramatic Alpine scenery and winter sports. St. Moritz, an upscale resort town and Winter Olympics host in 1928 and 1948, offers ski runs, an outdoor ice rink and ski jumping. Davos, home to the annual World Economic Forum, is also popular for skiing and hiking. The Engadin Valley has traditional whitewashed houses decorated with sgraffito plasterwork.

 

I processed a soft and a paintery HDR photo from three RAW exposures, merged them selectively, and carefully adjusted the curves.
