When dreams come true, it might be the case you find yourself in one of the most epic sceneries the Alps have to offer. We felt like being in an unreal world when all the stars aligned and we got the famous Matterhorn being reflected on the mirror-plane lake. Not enough of that, the color texture of the cone-shaped granite rock mimicked the peak's early morning glow in a symmetry and equilibrium, you almost can't believe. This has been witnessed by a group of very nice fellows from Australia, Canada, Israel and Italy. Thanks to @torygrimaldi, @vladimir.kogan and @dw_photo_ca for the nice company!

Hanging Lake, Colorado. So sad to see this area burning. Hopefully they are able to save the area around Hanging Lake.
️✅Le pont de claies de Vresse-sur-Semois est une passerelle en bois emblématique située à proximité du village de Laforêt, reconnu comme l'un des Plus Beaux Villages de Wallonie .
✅Un héritage du XIXe siècle
Ce pont rustique remonte au XIXe siècle. À l'origine, il permettait aux cultivateurs de tabac et aux agriculteurs de traverser la Semois à pied sec pour accéder à leurs terres situées sur l'autre rive. Composé de claies — des panneaux tressés à la main à partir de branches de noisetier ou de charme —, il repose sur des piliers en bois posés directement dans le lit de la rivière .
✅Une structure éphémère et saisonnière
Le pont est installé chaque année entre mai et juin, lorsque le niveau de la Semois est suffisamment bas, et démonté à la fin de l'été ou au début de l'automne pour éviter les dommages causés par les crues hivernales . Sa longueur varie entre 60 et 80 mètres, selon les sources, et il est composé d'environ 60 à 75 claies. Chaque année, une partie des claies est remplacée ou réparée par les ouvriers communaux, qui récoltent les branches nécessaires dans les forêts environnantes .
👨👩👧👦 Une attraction touristique prisée
✅Aujourd'hui, le pont de claies est l'une des attractions touristiques majeures de la région. Il attire chaque été plusieurs dizaines de milliers de promeneurs, séduits par son charme authentique et sa photogénie . Son caractère éphémère et sa construction artisanale en font un lieu particulièrement apprécié des amateurs de nature et de traditions locales.
✅Résilience face aux intempéries
Bien que conçu pour être démonté avant les crues, le pont a parfois été endommagé par des montées soudaines des eaux. Par exemple, en juillet 2021, une crue exceptionnelle a emporté une partie de la structure. Grâce à un système de câblage mis en place lors du montage, la majorité des claies a pu être récupérée et le pont a été reconstruit en quelques heures .
ℹ️Informations pratiques
Période d'ouverture : généralement de juin à septembre, selon les conditions météorologiques.
Accès : le pont relie le village de Laforêt à l'autre rive de la Semois.
Entretien : les claies sont stockées et entretenues durant l'hiver par le Centre touristique et culturel de Vresse-sur-Semois .

... and a tree, of course. It is called "traufgaenge" at the Swabian Alb which is a pretty place to hike and walk. Every 10 minutes you have a different view to the castle and if you like, you can walk all the way around. lovely...
Bats leaving the Orient Mine.
.
The Orient Mine, active from 1880 through 1932, was the largest producer of iron ore in Colorado, having produced about two million tons of limonite. It is believed that the name Orient came from the Old French word meaning east (rising sun), since the mine is located on the eastern side of the San Luis Valley. (There is no evidence of Chinese or other Asian miners working in the mine.) The Orient Mine had two associated town sites - one in the upper area in the early years and the lower town site which was active in the early 1900's. Today nothing remains of the towns except stories and a few foundations.
.
At its peak, the town of Orient had a population of more than 400, supporting a library, barber shop, school, 2 restaurants, a boarding house for 300, a saloon, a milling company and other small businesses including a supplier of work clothing.
.
Today, the Orient Mine is significant because for the last forty years or so it has been home to nearly 250,000 migratory bats. Bats were first documented at the Orient Mine in 1967 and have played a vital role in the chemical- and pesticide-free agriculture of the Valley. The Orient Mine is a designated Colorado Natural Area and Colorado Division of Wildlife Watchable Wildlife site.

I was eight or nine years old, when I was first inside the Rhone glacier. Twenty five years later I had another chance to explore the narrow corridors there. Nevertheless, they were not exactly the same. Due to the ongoing glacial recession, the responsible have to build new corridors, year by year.

As promised, the return to the Swiss Alps did not take long. On this trip in the middle of July I came with two friends of mine. We would stay four days in this extraordinarily beautiful area, hike a few kilometres, cover some metres of altitude and spend the nights in our tents.

Those big glaciers are much impressive and true giants of the Alps. Like a living organism they wind themselves, finding their way down to the valley. The Gorner glacier is almost 13 km long and covers an area of more than 50 km² [1]. The picture was taken from Schwarzsee (2583 m) above Zermatt.
