Jungfraujochs – at the top of Europe
The Ice Palace
The Ice Palace
Amazing place. I wonder if they also light it/decorate the place with different colours.
Meanwhile I’m yet to venture as far a Bylakuppe. Happy to travel desktop here!
I guess you are referring to the Ice palace ..no, just blue in a couple of places..its freezing out there
You have been to mandya ..Bylakuppe is just a couple of hours from Mysore..
Amazing photos… do you mind if I link this blog to mine?
I can see a piste. Did you ski as well? The ‘Eispalast’ is exciting. Were there ice models/sculptors there?
Lovely snow-covered mountain pictures.
As ever, a stunning set of photos which make me want to leave these shores!
I find there’s something strangely humbling about pictures like this – maybe because they act as a reminder of how small and transient we really are!
Wow, this landscape is amazing! Where exactly is this? The ice palace looks really fun!
Exxxxttrreeemely Beautiful! Must have been freezing!!
I hope you had a great Diwali! 🙂
Felt on top of the world when on top of Europe..? Splendid pics 🙂 Wonder which is your next destination!
Ashley – Thanks..pls feel free ..I hope you dont mind if I do the same
Indicaspecies- No, I dont ski , though attempted to walk over the glaciers and slipped a bit ..There were lot of ice scultures there .
Cathy -Thank you. I agree with you. Nature makes you realize that life is so transcient-so enjoy while you can !
Stephanie -This is Jungfraujong, one of the peaks near Interlaken at 12000 feet …The Swiss railways take you to the doorstep of the glacier .Have explained in the post below
Smita – Alps are awesome..its been a dream to see the Himalayas and the Alps ..we were freezing and we didnt have much warm clothes – but it was great fun.Happy Deepavali to you. Hope you had a great time in Calcutta
Lalitha – Welcome to backpakker and thanks for your comment . I need to plan …
We must enjoy these places while they last… the forces of global warming are knocking 😀
So nice pictures, how did you survive without any head cap?? LOL
Great pics. Did u skii? its a fun experience.
Priyank – very true ..global warming is all largely our doing ..It was freezing..thats why didnt venture out into the glacier too much and it was slippery as well
Ajeya – No, I didnt ski..wanted to but no time
Look at the amount of snow! Lovely pictures.
Breathtaking! Brrrr – makes me feel cold though. You have taken such wonderful photos throughout your wanderings!
I envy u! But someday! Some day I will be free too 🙂
Speechless, Speechless & Speechless….Whao, the first series of shots & then the ones with the greenish tinge, they are really some stunning shots. I have heard about Jungfraujong but didn’t know it’s so beautiful. It reminded me of this place of Tawang, where the landscapes was very similar when you go at higher altitudes & at places our feet would go down 2-3 feets in snow….Excellent Shots!
waow.. simply amazing shots. Thats the reason the place is called heaven of Earth. Your expressions shows how much you have enjoyed the place.
Mridula – I have never seen so much of snow in my life..not even in Tawang in Arunachal..thanks a ton ..your UK pics look awesome
Caroline -Thank you ..I was freezing there ..the places are so beautiful..nothing much to do than to press the shutter
Aparna-Welcome to backpakker..just let loose the wanderlust in you ..
Kalyan -thanks .It does remind one of Tawang – especially the lakes and the glaciers there ..
Pijush – sometimes excitement makes one feel warm even though its freezing ..thanks
Awesome pics espeically the first few ones….loved the snowscape and your shots.
And thanks for your deepawli wishes, I am touched.
Tk care ~
I just lost my power of speech.Phew! Awesome!
Jungfraujong! WOW
Awesome pictures !! Oh you reminded me of my days there. Catching the train to Jungfraujong.. top of Europe and the ice museum. 🙂
I even sent a few postcards from there.. the highest post office of Europe.
Alas ! I had a still camera. Haven’t uploaded the pictures till now. Will have to get them scanned first.
