Photographer’s Note

To continue in the extra-large, as Brigitte likes them, here an other collar of Switzerland: the Grimsel. Grimsel culminates to 2165 m, it makes the connection between the canton of Bern and the Valais. The river Aar runs on the northern slope of the collar. There are on this slope several dams. On the southern slope, it is the valley of the Rhone. One sees on the photograph, the left, the glacier of the Rhone, as well as the collar of Furka, which connects the Valais with the canton of Uri, but it is another history...

The photograph represents 360°, it is an assembly of 29 photographs. The small picture represent 150°. Unfortunately it was already more than 5 pm and the sun is low. A cloud partially hid it to me. And your servant is just on the left of the glacier. I am still on Valis, but you can see on the other bord of the lake, the Bernese side.

You can see the panoramic version on my web site.
