Jungfraujoch - Switzerland


The photo above is one I took of a poster in Wengen, Switzerland advertising the Jungfraujoch - Top of Europe which I have adapted with some extra writing. The burning log is not part of the poster but in front of it.

You can learn more about this in my latest post on Travel Tales

The next photo is a wonderful reproduction of an old poster advertising the railway that I photographed at Wengen railway station.



Finally although not a sign I am including today the photo which I am using for my header during February 2012, as I have been asked where it is. It is a view of  part of the Jungfrau Range of mountains with the Eiger on the left of the photo and the Monch in the middle, of this photo which is not cropped like the banner photo has been.

Today I am joining the following meme for the first time as it seemed appropriate.

  6. I thought the header was breathtaking, but the uncut version is even better!! And the retrospective of railway ads is interesting! The styles have changed, but they all mean the same thing!

  19. Hi Linda,

    This post brought back some lovely memories of the half a dozen or so Summer walking trips we took to this region of Switzerland.

    We stayed in Interlaken, at both the Beau Rivage and Victoria Jungfrau hotels, went to the top of the Jungfrau on the train on several occasions and your spectacular shot, just about sums it all up.

    Trips to the Schilthorn, Trummelbach Falls, Wengen and Grindelwald, to name just a few are fondly remembered and I can just picture us there now.

    The best experience for us, was when we took our 2 nieces (then aged 18 and 13) with us for a week. The look of amazement and joy on their faces was worth every penny we spent and to this day, they both rate it as their best holiday experience ever.

    Maybe we shall get back there again one day ....

Welcome to my photography blog, where I share the world as seen through my lens. All commenter's will receive a visit back from me but no longer individual replies unless you have a question, which I will respond to here. Your praise and kind words are always appreciated but to keep saying thankyou to you all individually, in an original way is not easy. So I am saying it here instead, a massive thankyou from my heart for all the wonderful support, your comments are a great encouragement to me.
