Viewing Album:  SWITZERLAND
 
By:EDWARD J. OZOG
Dates:7/28/1982 - 8/27/1988
Album Info:During the years 1982-1988 my wife and I spent two weeks each summer hiking and sightseeing in Switzerland--when the dollar was worth about twice as much as it is now. I did not use the time for railfanning but since we used the Swiss Railpass for all travel there were opportunities for photos. This is a selection of general scenes - I may add locomotive shots later.

A WARM AUGUST DAY
Title:  A WARM AUGUST DAY
Description:  Gornegrat Station on August 9 - the view of the Matterhorn is perfect when the clouds dissipate. The frequency of clouds among the high peaks makes it difficult to get a clear view in the higher elevations. We never saw the top of the Matterhorn on our first visit to Zermatt but experienced several crystal clear days at other times.
