mountains

i grew up surrounded by mountains, and i used to see them all the time, but now that i live in a flat with no such view, i tend to forget how beautiful they are. but today was a glorious (if freezing and windy) day, so there was no way i could miss them. on top of that, i had to take a bus 'far up' in the countryside to pick up my car, and as i wasn't driving, i was able to admire the Jura and it's beauty. then, as i reached the garage my car was at, i turned around and saw a lot more of the Alps than i usually do further down the valley. it was breathtaking. i could see les Dents du Midi and Matterhorn, which are always hidden behind a lower mountain, seen from where i live. and with the sun setting behind me, the sky was tainted in pink and light blue hues. i could have stood there for hours... well, if it hadn't been for the wind and the cold...
