your neighbors
by arasnosliw
Ahh, set out for a hike in Berneroberland, and the only neighbors you'll encounter tend to not bathe, have smelly breath, and be a bit hairier. That's because they only species you'll run into in Berneroberland's vast wilderness are of the non-human kind.
While hiking up to a glacier, I took a break in a nice grassy field full of grazing cows. They seemed pretty harmless, but as soon as I neared their vicinity, the moo's became incessantly louder and they started to snort the way horses do. Not particularly wanting to be mauled to death by a cow in the middle of nowhere, I made the wise decision to back away and continue eating my snack.
Just be careful, watch your step, cow pies are your number one enemy.

Kanton Bern
by arasnosliw
Kandersteg lies in the Swiss state of Kanton Bern/Canton Berne. This is the 2nd largest state of Switzerland and is home to Bern, the capital. Both German and French are official languages.
Kandersteg itself lies just a couple hours south of Bern, within the Bernese Oberland region. The mountain range, the Bernese Alps, dominate the region. At 1176 m, it is an ideal base for hiking the mountains.
Kandersteg Valley View
by sandysmith
Kandersteg is a sprawled out mountain town nestling in the broad Kander valley with its convenient train access from Spiez at one end and through the tunnel to Brig at the other end. From the vantage point of our descent of the Allmenalp (one of the alpine pastures above the town) we got a good view of Kandersteg and its valley.
A Discovery
by Rhondaj
One day we mistakenly left a piece of bread out on the balcony. When we got home there were these cute little chickadee like birds nibbling on it. Except they were more of an olive green color, and much shyer than chickadees I know.
So I spent the rest of the week leaving them out a piece of bread each morning. I wasted too much time trying to photograph these shy, but quick birds! The only way I could catch a photo was with the door shut, so I have a glass reflection.
I wonder if they miss their daily bread?

I definitely sensed a herd mentality...
