We have a place in NY that has the same name. The NY place is not as beautiful.

The name of the valley is Toggenburg and the mountains are called Churfirsten. The peaks have such fabulous names as Frümsel and Brisi.

I know it's Toggenburg, I looked at the photo URL.
We have a much more pitiful Toggenburg. http://goo.gl/maps/7SBGx
Not quite the same, no
Keep on keepin' the beat alive!
Toggenburg Road, now that's geil ... I mean awesome.
Rotation has a nice effect on icicles.

Oh cool.
I would love to see a time-lapse video of icicles being made.
Pfft, our Toggenburg Road isn't that bad...right? Oh wait it is relatively crappy.
Gorgeous picture! But I wonder about the house, and why all the rooflines don't mimic the mountains and wind-blown snow piles. Do they just expect to be buried every winter?Bump
That's a Maiensäss it is not used in Winter. Usually the cows will be brought there in May hence the name Maiensäss.

I've done those walks with cows before. It's really scenic and somehow doesn't smell too awful.
You mean like one diagonal roof? Probably because you would either have to make a huge tall wall, or get one side of the room with minimum height. If you made the roof flat, the snow would just keep building up and become super heavy. A common construction against such snowfall, is to build snow fences in a tactical position away from the cabin. Then you might at least not have to shovel in front of the entrance. Although you're completely right, most people have to shovel their way into their cabins at winter time.
Tomorrow is like an empty canvas that extends endlessly, what should I sketch on it?
- My new ride.
Not the first motorcycle, I presume?
Oh, great, another organ donor!

And watered heaven with their tears:
Did he smile his work to see?
Did he who made the lamb make thee?
Dread, it's my first. I've had my licence for over 6 years now but always had other plans in the way of me becoming a motorcycle owner. Now I have my house and got married I told my wife I wasn't prepared to wait any longer.Khen, potentially yes, fingers crossed it won't happen though eh?
Make sure the wife knows how to log on and inform us when you become a pancake

Seriously? That would be kinda awesome.
The fact that it's there. Not the dying part.
This isn't the greatest picture in regards to quality (taken on a Apple product!) but this is the view I have from the sun lounger I'm currently sitting on.
Singapore?
"Wer Visionen hat, sollte zum Arzt gehen." - Helmut Schmidt
Wherever it is, it must be south of the equator, being upside down 'n all.
Yes.
Wow, things really are upside-down in...Singapore?
Singapore is just north of the equator
"Wer Visionen hat, sollte zum Arzt gehen." - Helmut Schmidt
I think everyone knows that.
Though for some reason I missed the other people identifying the photo before me. But I've seen that view before.
So, then why is everything upside down?I think everyone knows that.
"Wer Visionen hat, sollte zum Arzt gehen." - Helmut Schmidt
I don't know -- I thought you thought I was saying Singapore was "down under" below the equator.
Clearly Singapore is just crazy.
I'm not as good as Bitter in terms of photography but I took this from inside a botanical garden Singapore.
Great color on those blooms, Lor!
