Makes me want to go into a chorus of "Doe A Deer a Female Deer..." while riding on a bike. (...you know, from the "Sound of Music"). Both quaint and majestic all at the same time. Great perspective, colors and overall scene, Les! Another beautiful photo! #5013432

Autum Rhoades November 01, 2007

You have so outdone yourself on this one! Wow - the line of the stone walls up to the grand scenery...wow! The colors just burst out at me and I love how simplistic, yet detailed the overall image is. The clouds add a very nice touch. Wow! This is exactly why I want to visit Switzerland! Someday! #5013595

Les Rhoades level-classic November 01, 2007

We'll all sing along.........

Doe- a deer, a female deer

Ray- a drop of golden sun

Me- a name I call myself

Far- a long long way to run

Sew- a needle pulling thread

La- a note to follow so

Tea- a drink with jam and bread

That will bring us back to

So do la fa mi do re (Maria goes up scale DoReMeFa)

So do la fa (Maria SoLTiiiii) (la sooooo) (ti faaaa) (mi reeee) ti dooooo
So do

Bob Cournoyer level-classic November 01, 2007

You're a wonderment, Les! Doesn't it tilt just a tad to the left, though..... :-)

“Doesn't it tilt just a tad to the left?” Bob

It’s an optical allusion. Go back and look again. The steps on the left side go all the way to the bottom of the image and there are no steps on the right. Look at the top of the stone walls. The one on the left is actually taller in the photo. Not in reality…
The slope of the hill is actually going down to the right and I was standing level to the slope.
