Pictures From Appenzell
 |
| An old skill still in use - a fine furniture maker. In laid woods, solid walnut, hand-made joinery. We got a tour here. |
 |
| Spring beds |
 |
| A view of the countryside |
 |
| New blooms |
 |
| Milk house and fountain |
 |
| The typical house styles of Appenzell |
 |
| The window shutters drop down behind the painted panels |
 |
| All these pretty colors and decorations and forms are city houses - in the countryside the houses are more simple. |
 |
| A closer view |
 |
| A baby was recently added to this family - this is the birth announcement |
 |
| Rows of windows are standard |
 |
| Note some of the shutters over the windows. |
 |
| Farms and hills - the house and barn are connected. Dwellings are usually not nestled in trees; the fields come right up to the door. |
 |
| Same farm scene - note the tiny chapel |

Interesting photos of a lovely area. Such unique architecture, especially the roof lines. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteSo much more visually interesting than most of the apartment buildings in the cities near here...
ReplyDeleteWhen people have and retain an authentic culture, it's usually aesthetically interesting - anywhere one finds it, as among the Amish in your area. All the more reason to keep our minds filled with art - right?
