From the Gothard Pass - looking southwest.

From the Gothard Pass - looking southwest.
Taken whilst travelling from Italy to Switzerland on the famous Gothard Pass in September 2013. I think we are looking here backwards southwest towards the Swiss Ticino mountain range around Basòdino. An added bonus of this almost painterly view was the unusual colouring of the middle heights -maybe sandy clay?
Notice the now ancient Olympus camera that took this. Another from my old Panoramio album.
A must full screen view

Wunderschöne Landschaft! Ich mag besonders die Gegensätze der spitzen Gipfel zu den weichen Hügeln davor.

Danke Trester. Es war so eine schöne Reise. Der Gothard Pass war noch besser als ich es mir vorgestellt hatte. Wir fuhren durch den Tunnel nach Süden und über den Pass nach Norden. Natürlich waren die realen Landstraßen für mich viel besser. Ja, ein ziemlicher Kontrast zwischen den Gipfeln und den sanften bewaldeten Tälern.

Painterly indeed! Subtle colors in a wild landscape. Few people take the old pass roads and get these views, most just drive through the tunnels to get to Italy asap.

Herb Riddle club has replied to Sarah P.
Thanks Sarah. We (our bus driver) drove into Italy as you say -as fast as possible but we had more time on our way back to England and so experienced this pass like this. A wonderful trip indeed.

Cheers, Hanwe, Herb
