From autumn colors to fighting cows, things can end up rather strange :-\ ;D
Robin your pictures bring lots of memories of walking in late autumn in Switzerland, though it was in Ticino.
Thanks for showing them.

Sadly Luit died on 14th October 2016 - happily we can still enjoy his posts to the Forum

Keep posting Tony.  I was there in July a few years ago, much hotter and drier then.  Interesting to see the flowers from an early visit.  The screes around the hairpin road were carpeted in flowers, Campanula cochlearifolia and Anthyllis vulneraria come to mind as dominant.  Most pics were slides in those days - and I did not take the digital camera out on rainy days!
