Photos are wonderful indeed.  Yes, it does look like north, - patches of
snow are so low on the mountains.  One thing is good - they didn't have a
cold night on that July 7/8 trip, - no nights there in July... OTH, days
were not too hot either, if "20 grader" is 20C (52F?), and with some wind...
The most amazing thing, though, is that wooden church, built 160 years ago.
My condo is less than 30 years old, and I don't think it will last another
30 years.  Introducing cheap plywood and particle boards in construction has
been somebody's ingeniously mischievous act, as I can see now.
