nirgendwo sonst liegen so viele 4.000er auf so engem Raum aneinander gereiht wie hier an der Grenze zwischen Schweiz und Italien - neben dem berühmten Zwillingspaar Castor
(4.223 m) und Pollux (4.092 m) liegen u.a. das Breithorn (4.164 m) und das Kleine Matterhorn (3.883 m) - zu sehen sind auch der Zwillingsgletscher und der Schwarzegletscher

The Breithorn (from German: "large mountain"; 4,164 m) is a mountain of the Pennine Alps, located on the border between Switzerland and Italy. It lies on the main chain of the Alps, approximately halfway between the Matterhorn and Monte Rosa and east of the Theodul Pass. Most of the massif is glaciated and includes several subsidiary peaks, all located east of the main summit: the Central Breithorn, the Eastern Breithorn, the Breithornzwillinge and the Roccia Nera. The main summit is sometimes distinguished by the name Western Breithorn. The nearest settlements are Zermatt (Valais) and St-Jacques (Aosta Valley).
View from the Klein Matterhorn (west side)
The Breithorn is considered the most easily climbed 4,000 m Alpine peak. This is due to the Klein Matterhorn cable car which takes climbers to over 3,820 m (12,700 ft) from Zermatt for a starting point. The standard route (SSW flank) is from the Italian side of the mountain (the south side) and continues over a glacial plateau before climbing to the summit on a 35 degree snow slope. However, inexperienced mountaineers may run into severe difficulty if caution is not taken near cornices or in bad weather. For experienced climbers wanting more of a challenge, the half traverse of the Breithorn crest is another option.
The Breithorn was first climbed in 1813 by Henry Maynard (climber), Joseph-Marie Couttet, Jean Gras, Jean-Baptiste Erin and Jean-Jacques Erin.

I have been visiting and photographing these two for almost 20 years. This was my last trek up to Mount Pollux, to pay my respects before one of the trees was removed for safety reasons - it had been hit by lightning too many times.
Ma proposition pour Macro Mondays sur le thème "Animal"
Pollux est l'un des personnages du Manège enchanté, une série télévisée d'animation en volume créée par Serge Danot et diffusée à partir d'octobre 1964 sur la première chaine de la télévision française (ORTF).
Dougal (the english name of Pollux) is one of the characters in the Magic Roundabout, an stop-motion television series created by Serge Danot and broadcast from October 1964 on the french television (ORTF).

Ein aktuelles Foto, welches ich mit dem Olympus - Eigenen Art-Filter gemacht habe. Er bringt eine schöne nostalgische Stimmung mit starkem Korn.
This work by sculptor Antoine Coysevox dates from 1688. It represents Castor and Pollux who were heroes of Greek mythology. They were twins, fraternal twins in fact.
Their story is touching. The two brothers have the same mother, Leda. Castor is the son of a mortal, the king of the city of Sparta, in Greece, while Pollux is the son of Jupiter. But one day, Castor is murdered and sent to the Underworld. Pollux then asked Jupiter to make Castor a god. Jupiter refused, but offered him to stay every other day in the Underworld with his brother and every other day with him on Mount Olympus. Finally, transported to the sky, they became the Gemini constellation.
On the sculpted work, this explains the two torches held by Pollux, one raised in the air and the other lowered towards a small altar. Next to Pollux, on a pedestal, Cybele, the goddess of the Earth, symbolizes the alternative place of stay of the two brothers.

Jumeaux mythiques
Cette œuvre du sculpteur Antoine Coysevox date de 1688. Elle représente Castor et Pollux des héros de la mythologie grecque. C’étaient des jumeaux, de faux jumeaux en fait
Leur histoire est touchante. Les deux frères ont une même mère, Léda. Castor est fils d’un mortel, le roi de la ville de Sparte, en Grèce, tandis que Pollux est fils de Jupiter. Mais un jour, Castor est assassiné et envoyé aux Enfers. Pollux demanda alors à Jupiter de faire de Castor un dieu. Jupiter refusa, mais lui proposa de rester un jour sur deux aux Enfers avec son frère et un jour sur deux avec lui sur le mont Olympe. Finalement, transportés au ciel, ils devinrent la constellation des Gémeaux.
Sur l’œuvre sculptée, ceci explique les deux torches que tient Pollux, l’une élevée en l’air et l’autre abaissée vers un petit autel. À côté de Pollux, sur un socle, Cybèle, la déesse de la Terre symbolise le lieu alternatif du séjour des deux frères.

Etwas aus dem Archiv: die Deutsche Bahn hat sich bekanntlich aus dem Nachtzuggeschäft verabschiedet und einen Großteil des Wagenmaterials an die ÖBB veräußert. Im März 2014 konnte ich im österreichischen Inntal eine der damaligen "Starleistungen" fotografieren. CityNightLine 419/1319 "Pollux" von Amsterdam Centraal wurde ab München Hbf mit 103 245-7 bespannt und weiter bis nach Innsbruck Hbf befördert.
It is a pitty that DB stopped its night train services some years ago. While scanning my older pictures, I rediscovered this one. Munich's beautiful lady (103 245-7) pulled CNL 419/1319 "Pollux" from Amsterdam Centraal to Innsbruck in Austria. What a name and what a long-distance train...

Built in the 5th Century BC, these columns have stood for over 2.5 millennia.
