Trittst im Morgenrot daher,
Seh’ ich dich im Strahlenmeer,
Dich, du Hocherhabener, Herrlicher!
Wenn der Alpen Firn sich rötet,
Betet, freie Schweizer, betet,
Eure fromme Seele ahnt,
Eure fromme Seele ahnt,
Gott im hehren Vaterland!
Gott, den Herrn, im hehren Vaterland!
All gorgeous picture views from Emetten down to Lucerne Lake shot with D800 + 16-35 f/4. You can find the full Swiss Psalm here.
Here we are, ready again to fight for you, Caesar!
Wearing our colourful coats, witnesses of countless victories,
once more we will terrify the withdrawing enemies
Faster than the wind through our manes
Our hooves will be more frightening than thousand thunders
and we will celebrate the most beautiful victory again, once more and for ever.

Although in the ancient Roman town of Augusta Raurica,

After Furkapass, close to where the most famous Aston Martin ever drove down the valley
take your chance to explore one of the most spectacular roads of Switzerland.
Sharp bends and steep down-hills
to reach the young, rapid Rhone river
cutting through Gletsch, at the crossroads of the Grimsel Pass (leading to the Bernese Oberland) and the Furka Pass (leading to Central Switzerland).
On-the-road, stop-and-go pictures shot despite almost-unforgiving motor-bike policemen… with my D800 plus 70-200 VR-II or 16-35 f/4. Click to magnify
Yes, you should go this way.
Not this way, the other way!
There, you see?
Why nobody listen to me ?!?
*I* go the right way, then! Bye bye you two …
