Today is a very sad day for MADELEINE BIANCHI and ERIC MAURER! Our little friend GANYMED, the LITTLE TWISTER has begun its last journey! He was during his lifetime of 19 years our sunshine in good as well in bad days!
Rest in Peace, little Friend!
THE CAT LOVER!
«THERE ARE TWO MEANS TO REFUGE FROM THE MISERIES OF LIFE: MUSIC AND CATS.» ALBERT SCHWEITZER - (1875 - 1965) Alsatian polymath: Theologian, organist, writer, humanitarian, philosopher, and physician. He received the 1952 Nobel Peace Prize for his philosophy of «Reverence for Life», becoming the eighth Frenchman to be awarded that prize.
These wonderful ice sculptures are a creation of the unsurpassed master: NATURE! The result of a synergy of water, gravity, wind, ice-cold air and atmospheric light refraction.
IN WINTER WONDERLAND!
Exactly the conditions that prevail during winter in this deep valley in the Swiss Alps. This is because the rock walls in which it is nestled are so high that no sunlight reaches the valley floor from November to March!
THE ICEFALL!
This masterpiece of Nature is the lower end of a huge icefall, that MADELEINE and ERIC call HEAVEN’S GATE!
SEE IT FOR FREE!
And best of all! Its sightseeing is free! For Nature demands no admission fee! Just a little perseverance, some puff as well as some sweat!
WISE WORDS!
«THE MEDIATOR OF THE INEXPRESSIBLE IS THE ART WORK!» JOHANN WOLFGANG VON GOETHE(1749 - 1832)-German poet, playwright, novelist, scientist, statesman, theater director, critic and amateur artist.
Howdy, folks! I am the cute little Easter bunny MOHAN! And I think I have an important message for every one of you!
TAKE A BREAK!
May I disturb you in your very important occupations? Like reading your mostly silly Facebook posts! Posting idiotic selfies on TikTok! Listening to the stupid babbling of millions of corrupt politicians! Or admiring the infinite wisdom of some Hollywood and pop dorks!
FOR JESUS CHRIST!
The reason I interrupted you: Because I want to remind you of a guy named JESUS! «HIS PASSION! - HIS CRUCIFIXION! - HIS RESURRECTION FROM THE DEAD ON THE THIRD DAY!» I think it was worth it!-Isn't it?
SORRY FOR THIS LITTLE BREAK!
Now you may continue with your everyday pursuits!
NEVERTHELESS: HAPPY EASTER!
Sincerely, little Snow Leopard MOHAN! MADELEINE BIANCHI and ERIC MAURER of SKATETRIX SPORT COMPANY!
«They fed me behind bars from an iron pan till one night I felt that I was BAGHEERA - the PANTHER - and no man's plaything! I broke the silly lock with one blow of my paw and came away! And because I had learned the ways of men, I became more terrible in the jungle than SHERE KAHN, the Tiger!»
THE WILL TO FREEDOM!
«MAN IS FREE AT THE INSTANT HE WANTS TO BE!» VOLTAIRE (1694 – 1778)-French Enlightenment writer, historian, and philosopher famous for his wit, his criticism of the Roman Catholic Church.
THE STRUGGLE FOR FREEDOM!
«FREEDOM IS THE SURE POSSESSION OF THOSE ALONE WHO HAVE THE COURAGE TO DEFEND IT!» PERICLES (c. 495 – 429 BC)-Prominent and influential Greek statesman, orator and general of Athens during its golden age, specifically the time between the Persian and the Peloponnesian Wars.
WITHOUT SLAVES NO TYRANTS!
«NECESSITY IS THE PLEA FOR EVERY INFRINGEMENT OF HUMAN FREEDOM. IT IS THE ARGUMENT OF TYRANTS - IT IS THE CREED OF SLAVES!» WILLIAM PITT the Younger(1759 - 1806)-The youngest Prime Minister of Great Britain! DOESN'T THAT SOUND KIND OF FAMILIAR TODAY? DOESN'T IT?
THE CREED OF SLAVES: WE ARE FREE!
«NONE ARE MORE HOPELESSLY ENSLAVED THAN THOSE WHO FALSELY BELIEVE THEY ARE FREE!» JOHANN WOLFGANG VON GOETHE(1749 - 1832)-German poet, playwright, novelist, scientist, statesman, theater director, critic and amateur artist
DO YOU REALLY WANT FREEDOM?
Are you aware that many of the best of your ancestors sacrificed their belongings, their health, or worse, their lives for freedom? Would any of you have the courage to fight for that freedom the way they did? Or do you belong to the majority that prefers a comfortable life in a pseudo-freedom!
The last rays of the sun get refracted at the sharp mountain crests of the Swiss Alps.
IN MAGICAL TWILIGHT!
The heights are now bathed in the magical blue twilight of the nightfall!
Whilst the night has already spread its black cloak over the deep valley.
THE DEEP VALLEY!
This valley is so narrow that from November to March no ray of sunlight falls into it!
Eric discovered it on his forays through the Swiss Alps in summer, as in winter!
ITS ICEFALLS!
Eric knew exactly that in winter we would find gigantic icefalls here, flowing over the high rock faces down to the valley floor!
And particularly, the magnificent Heavens Gate with its beautiful ice sculptures, which you know from my photos!
OUR WAY BACK!
Now it's high time to descend into the valley, because the coming night will be bitterly cold!
Because the way back through the deep snow in the forests of the valley will be energy-sapping and take a long time!
But that's the price we gladly pay for the wonderful day we had at Winter Wonderland!
