Swiss winter paradise, Paradis hivernal suisse , Les Rochers de Nays . Canton of Vaud. No. 6432.
The Rochers de Naye (French, lit. "rocks of Naye"; 2,042 metres (6,699 ft)) are a mountain of the Swiss Alps, overlooking Lake Geneva near Montreux and Villeneuve, in the canton of Vaud. They lie on the range separating the basin of Lake Geneva from the valley of the Sarine, on the watershed between the Rhone and the Rhine. The mountain is partially located in the canton of Fribourg, the border between the two cantons culminating on a lower summit named Grande Chaux de Naye (1,982 metres (6,503 ft)).
The Rochers de Naye are easily accessible from Montreux, where the highest railway in the canton, the Montreux–Glion–Rochers-de-Naye, starts. From the summit station (1,968 metres (6,457 ft)), only a short walk is necessary to reach the summit. In addition, it is also possible to access the summit by driving to Col de Jaman and then making the 2-3 hr hike to the peak.
The Rochers de Naye are also known for the Rochers de Naye Via Ferrata[3] considered to be extremely difficult (ED), the Grottes de Naye (caves which are accessible via the trail between Col de Jaman and Rochers de Naye), and a few enclosures hosting marmots from around the world.
Les rochers de Naye sont une montagne des Alpes suisses située sur les communes de Veytaux, Villeneuve et Montreux dans le canton de Vaud."
On peut accéder au sommet des rochers de Naye soit à pied, soit par le chemin de fer Montreux-Glion-Rochers de Naye, une ligne de chemin de fer longue de 10,36 km, à voie unique à crémaillère qui couvre en 55 minutes une dénivellation de 1 600 mètres et qui dessert aussi Glion et Caux. Il s'agit de la plus haute voie ferrée du canton. La gare sommitale abrite aussi un restaurant et un hôtel. Il n'y a pas d'accès pour les automobiles au-delà de Caux.

This time of year it seems we all cannot help but post autumn photos . . . This scene is near my home in Northern Michigan.
Randsburg, Ca.
On our way home from the recent trip, we were looking for a spot to stop and have a picnic lunch. I've been to Randsburg previously, so when we came to the turnoff leading a short distance to the town, I took it knowing there would be a place to lunch. The town is called a ghost town, but it has 69 residents according to the census. On this day you would swear that it was truly a ghost town. No tourists, and not a soul to be seen. Pretty eerie.

I have another shot of this train from this location uploaded already, but I kinda like the train from this vantage point as well.

Not many turns need to be made ... just loved this light and peaceful view driving through the farm country.
HFF as well.
After days of driving, as the sun goes down the horizon, Sigrun arrives in the town of Ashmore.

Sorry for not being very active. Posting one last summer shot, as Autumn is starting today. Getting ready for a cycling trip in Provence.

The days are short in November in Iceland. We were driving through the mountainous roads beside the northern fjords as the sun began to set.
HFF 😊 😊 😍
With heartfelt and genuine thanks for your kind visit. Have a beautiful day, be well, keep your eyes open, appreciate the beauty surrounding you, enjoy creating, stay safe, and laugh often! ❤️❤️❤️

A remarkable photo tour last year into the heathland through fresh snow. I hope we'll get another possibility this winter.
