Viva La Grischa Photo

Photographer’s Note

According to my new local friend from Pontresina Viva La Grischa means "cheers to the first drink of the day" in Romansch, a local Swiss dialect spoken in this area. Well, this photo brings back memories of my recent holiday in the Upper Engadine area of Switzerland. I saw most people around here drink Calanda beer, fomerly Swiss, but now belongs to a Dutch company. Have a nice day & have that Calanda on me. By the way this photo was taken in a small but beautiful mountain village called Soglio.

Hi Latiff

As a Swiss you let me no other choice then to have a closer look at this photograph, well composed and fine light management, congrats, well done. The translation of your friend is correct, but Romansch is not a Swiss dialect, it is a real language, to be more precise, it is the development of Latin spoken by the Romans. Romansch along with French, German and Italian is one of Switzerland's four national languages.

Friendly regards
Urs

Hi Latiff,
Well captured and focused shot of Swiss hospitality. Excellent timing. This also reminds me how thirsty I was after my hike to Soglio.
Anyway, I think this village is mainly Italian speaking.
