Sorry, I thought you knew who I was - from my e-mail address or my blog. <BR/><BR/>As to "flat:" Walk through the vineyards in Aesch and tell me they aren't steeper, deeper, and plain wrinklier than on that picture. Even around the Ermitage the hillsides are steeper and rise higher, as far as I can tell. Maybe I'm fooled by the picture.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2419488710730314262.post-22611335263153231782007-12-20T13:27:00.000+01:002007-12-20T13:27:00.000+01:00You're not the only one who thought I was referrin...You're not the only one who thought I was referring to the photo directly above the poll...so apologies for that. :) <BR/><BR/>Flat!!??! It looks flat to you?? Maybe it's just because I know the area, but to me that looks like beautiful rolling hillside!! If you look close, you can see more hills in the background even. But it reminded me of the area around Lake Geneva too. It also looks a bit like the hills around Arlesheim, out near the Ermitage park, if you have ever been out there.<BR/><BR/>I think I know you...but I can't remember who "thduggie" is. Stephan, perhaps?? hmmm...such a mystery.Stephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14372028212886285202noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2419488710730314262.post-5473134232307700402007-12-20T11:32:00.000+01:002007-12-20T11:32:00.000+01:00Well, I must relativise my vote. I thought we wer...Well, I must relativise my vote. I thought we were voting on the picture with you next to the Blasiwald sign, so I voted for Germany. I guess voting for the wrong picture puts a serious dent in Time magazine's theory about the firstborn having an extra high IQ. <BR/><BR/>I did wonder about the picture with the vineyards, because although they look similar to what you might find in Aesch, just a few kilometers from your town, Switzerland rarely has plots that big and that "flat" - the only place I could think of that might look like that would be la Côte, the lake Geneva shores near Morges and Nyon, but those areas are actually a bit flatter. Anyway, thanks for sharing Oregonian beauty, and 'tis true: beauty starts at home. <BR/><BR/>Of course, for me, home is Switzerland...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
