Farms of the Jura in winter [The Jura mountains run in a southwest-northeast direction along the border between France and Switzerland, from Geneva (Genève) to Basel (Bâle), holding at about 1300-1400 meters altitude (4350-4500 feet), and peaking in the range of 1650 meters (5450 feet). These photos of high alpage farms in winter are mainly from the southwestern end of that range, between the cities of Geneva and Vallorbe.]

The Swiss flag is flying, which usually means the folks are in residence, but they're not, and it was still flying a week later, so they've probably given up on it. 6 December 2009.
