Canyon
A brilliant red cliff surrounds us on three sides and two waterfalls fall into the dead end canyon that Sonja and I have just walked into; being surrounded on three sides by a rock face magnifies the sound of the waterfalls. The only other person that we have past is a farmer earlier in our hike, and therefore we have the place to ourselves which makes it feel a little extra special. The sun has not discovered the canyon and there is a breeze from the waterfalls which makes it very cool. I breathe deeply the mountain air, which has some mist from the waterfalls giving it a refreshing quality. I am fascinated by the falling water as it seems to come down in waves, slowly separating apart before it crashes into the rocks. I watch inquisitively as the water then makes it way out of the canyon along the path that it has been carving for thousands of years. I feel as though I am lost, deep in the Swiss mountains and I must say I enjoy this feeling.
