Hiking in Switzerland ; Grindelwald , First , above Bachsee . No. 8957.
"It's impossible to imagine the Swiss mountain world as more idyllic than the area surrounding Lake Bachalpsee. The snow-covered peaks of the Alps are reflected in the crystal clear blue water.
First is the starting point for hikes and it offers action: An adrenaline rush and speed thrills are guaranteed on the First Flyer, trottibike scooters or bikes. Children can have fun on the 700-m² playground at the Bort intermediate station."
Trois étapes vous seront nécessaires pour débarquer en toute tranquillité dans cet écrin de nature montagnarde paradisiaque. A 2200 mètres d'altitude, le First offre des panoramas étourdissants, notamment une vue imprenable sur sept 4000 des Alpes bernoises.
En une petite heure de marche à travers pâturages et chemins pédestres bucoliques, vous atteignez le superbe lac Bachalpsee et ses eaux cristallines. De tous les côtés, des points de vue pittoresques. Inoubliable ascension. Pour un peu de culture, passez donc la nuit au Berghotel Faulhorn, le plus ancien hôtel de montagne de Suisse!
Der First ist eine Verflachung des Südwest-Rückens zum Widderfeldgrätli (2'632 m ü. M.) im Berner Oberland nördlich oberhalb von Grindelwald. Er ist über eine Gondelbahn oder zu Fuss erreichbar. Die obere Bergstation heisst ebenfalls First (2'167 m ü. M.) und steht den Besuchern im Winter und im Sommer mit einem gut ausgebauten Ski- und Wandergebiet zur Verfügung.
Besonders beliebt ist die Wanderung zum Bachalpsee und weiter zum Faulhorn, die ein spektakuläres Panorama mit Blick auf den oberen Grindelwaldgletscher sowie Eiger, Mönch und Jungfrau bietet. Eine weitere interessante Wanderung führt auf das Schwarzhorn. Östlich von First liegt 5,6 Kilometer zu Fuss entfernt die Grosse Scheidegg.
Der First ist ein Startort für Paraglider und Deltasegler sowie Ausgangspunkt für zahlreiche Mountainbiketouren. Station First bietet auch einen imposanten kurvenreichen Schlittenweg, welcher bei guten Schneeverhältnissen direkt nach Grindelwald führt.

Being a gondolier is not all glory and admiration. It takes strength and a strong determined set of arms to navigate the canals, the lagoon and the basin which all surround Venice.
I edited this quite a bit as the original was taken on a very gloomy day in Venice. Fun to see what can be created with all the tools on Aviary!

This Monarch Butterfly (Danaus plexippus) caterpillar is less than 1 cm (0.4 inches) in length. It will grow to about 2 inches when it forms a chrysalis. This young loner is mixing in with a colony of Oleander Aphids (Aphis nerii Boyer de Fonscolombe) on their favorite Narrowleaf Milkweed (Asclepias fascicularis).

A cold and piercing wind in the deserted countryside . The harsh hand of winter is felt and even the sun retreats shivering.

You can see our 'catch of the day' in first comment:
A.k.a. Night light snakes or in other words light trails. :-D Image taken along Siel-Einsteigehäuschen from atop the Elbpromade in Hamburg.
A female Downy Woodpecker lacks the red area on the back of her head that is found on the male Downy. But she is quite strikingly patterned (as is the male Downy) with black and white feathers.
Great light, and wonderful structural plants, with a cobweb, seen on a late evening walk close to home
For me, the re-arrangements made by flickr to the 'Recent Activity' were a game changer. I will continue to post until I find a better platform. And I want ro keep in touch with flickr friends.
Thanks for over 4 and a half million views, every comment and every fave! Des
A Great Blue Heron flies away from the camera as it carries a stick for building its nest. I believe this is the same heron that I featured on Thursday as it came in for a landing at the nest-in-progress. I've placed that image in the first comment.
