There is something about simplistic photos that just captures my heart. Perhaps it is just the reminder that sometimes in "quiet" or simplistic there is a strength, one that never needs to be explained .. it is just there. . Regardless I just love it .. :). Hope any of that makes sense.

An early morning view of Lucerne, Switzerland, from the Chapel Bridge.
Kapellbrücke is a medieval covered bridge and has become the unofficial symbol of the city. “It was built in 1333. As you cross its 200-meter length, you'll see 120 captioned triangular paintings from the early 1500s that chronicle the city's history. The paintings feature St. Mauritius and St. Leodegar, the patron saints of Lucerne.
In reality, the bridge isn't as old as it looks. The Kapellbrücke was nearly destroyed by a 1993 fire, and much of what stands today is an excellent restoration (or reproduction, if you're a cynic or uncompromising realist).
Tip: If you're prone to arachnophobia, you may want to wear a hat and walk quickly when crossing the bridge at certain times of the year. Large spiders have been known to spin impressive webs in the Kapellbrücke's rafters--and that's something else you won't read in the tourist brochures.” It was an incredible structure, and I’m only very glad that I didn’t know about those spiders and their webs before I strolled slowly from one end to the other!
The village of Temple was once the headquarters of the Knights Templar in Scotland from whom it takes its name, previously being known as Balantrodoch. The land was granted to the Templars by king David I in 1153 and held by them until the order was supressed in 1312.
The ruins of the old parish church date from the early 14th century.

The hospital Mostiste many patients die each year. Therefore, it is in this region a greater incidence of chapels and crosses. Death is afraid of everyone and turns to God. It does not matter whether he lived the life of a Christian or not. Simply afraid.
A l'écart du monde, sur un sommet perdu au fond d'une forêt interminable couvrant toute la colline Saint-Maurice : il faut compter deux heures de montée à pied dans les bois pour atteindre le sommet boisé de ce lieu sauvage. Dans son isolement, la chapelle qui y siège a quelque chose d'étonnant à nous dire.
En 1664, la bergère Benoîte Rencurel rencontra ici-même un homme qui se présenta sous le nom de Maurice. Il déclara que cette chapelle était construite en son honneur, et que le lendemain, Benoîte verrait la Vierge Marie dans le vallon des Fours. C'est ce qui arriva, inaugurant les apparitions de Notre-Dame-du-Laus. Benoîte en fut le témoin pendant cinquante-trois ans.
Quant à saint Maurice, il fait partie des "martyrs de la légion thébaine" : sous l'empereur romain Maximin, Mauritius (Maurice) était le chef d'une légion de soldats qui s'étaient tous convertis au christianisme. Refusant de renier leur foi en Jésus-Christ lors des persécutions, ils furent tous condamnés à mort et exécutés. La tradition dit qu'ils étaient environ dix mille. Sur le lieu de leur martyre, dans le Valais suisse, a été construite l'abbaye de Saint-Maurice.
