You've got a good memory Adelaidean! I started a TR a few months ago, but it fizzled out. Then I began a new, partially Covid-induced, sedentary, indoor hobby (wooden ship modeling, I'm not too good). So this might be as close as a TR gets, but one never knows.

Thanks for asking in any case!

Walking through Basel today and just passed the first gingerbread house of the season...

Melnq8, great idea and wonderful photos! Amazing snow and mountains pix. You should also be a food photographer. And the photo of the agitated standing terrier from 11/23 or thereabouts made me laugh out loud.

And kudos to everyone else who submitted photos as well. neckervd, after looking at your photos of trails-cum-catwalks, I'll never be afraid of anything in our national parks (like the Skyline Trail in Glacier or Angel's Landing in Zion) ever again.

I have to admit I don't think of beaches in Switzerland!

Well if nothing else this thread has forced me to clean up my digital photo files a bit. I'm finally making headway.

Look at that. Endless Swiss scenery well-shot is good for the soul.
I am done. The end.

One of my (future, hopeful) Swiss itineraries has Estavayer Le lac as a base, visiting Avenches, Murten, Neuchatel, Orbe...so loving those photos neckervd.

mel, autumnal trees, those larches, sigh.....
