MAGIC MOUNTAINS

There is something strikingly appealing about the settings and shapes of Switzerland's mountains as illustrated in these photographs. All were taken in the fall of 2010 in two remote valleys -- the Loetschental and Binntal and such better-known places in the cantons of Valais and Graubünden: Saas-Fee, Zermatt, St. Moritz and the Engadin, Davos and Klosters. Some are of the peaks are well-known, not least the iconic Matterhorn; most others are also named but, to most outsiders, nameless natural monuments. Magic mountains.
