Zermatt, home of Mt.Matterhorn

[Gunner]

Situated in Switzerland, Zermatt is one of the greenest and cleanest towns.
It is a small, jolly place with friendly residents.
The only hint of external presence is a small McDonald's branch.
You are not allowed to own cars in the town, the only cars you might see belong to day visitors from other cities, and they do not cross the edges of ther town.
However, there are small electric cars witha speed limit of about 50km/h:

You will also find some horse carriages that transport visitors from the train station to the hotel (5-10 minutes walk). This is one of the carriages of the hotel we stayed in:

In Zermatt, most shops sell souvenirs and small handicrafts. Here are some stylish cow models :cute:

Also, when walking by the river I saw a wedding ceremony:

I was passing by a lovely private garden when I stumbled upon a little Mr:

Returning to the title, Zermatt is where Mount Matterhorn is.
Here are some shots of the mount.
It reminded me of the mount in Paramount's logo.

I love Switzerland, however I've never been to this specific place.
It's gorgeous mashallah, and so are the pictures.

My favourite is the snail pictures! :D

This is the stuff dreams and fairytales are made of.....if only i could have a slice of earth there... :(

Ah but thanks a million for sharing Gunner! Really enjoyed those! And i like how you've picked the finer things in life for photography, for example things like flowers and the lush green open spaces filled with nothingness :)

[Gunner]

Thanks all :D
Really appreciate it :)

Lime: they are cute but devastatingly slow!! :P
lak47: surprisingly, there were not many houses there.
death rose: to them, these are normal garden flowers, to us, it's heavenly :P
