Head for the Hills

 

2001: Active Spare Time

 Rope up we are heading to the mountains.

1937: World Ski Championships - Chamonix

Swoop and jump down slopes.  Or perhaps just

1960: Tourist Publicity (Design Charles Mazelin; Engraver Jean Pheulpin)

take the slow lane through the Kerrata Gorge in Algeria

1992: Mount Arguille

Those ropes I mentioned will be needed here, a mountain with no weak sides or paths.  Perhaps I will just admire the geology, the remains of a limestone plateau that has been eroded to leave a single pillar of rock.

1972:Swiss Alps

Something more pointy in the snowy Swiss Alps

or travel to warmer climes and the The Grand Benard.  Get up early because mid morning the clouds cover the interior of the Reunion, as can be seen on the stamp. The church is Notre-Dame-des-Neiges with a unique carillon .  The master carillonneur gives concerts from classical to contemporary from his cabin in the clock tower. How wonderful it must be to hear the sound of 48 bells rise in the mountain air.  

Sunday Stamps theme this week is - Mountains - ascend the heights at See It On A Postcard
