Farms
of the Jura in winter
The
Quiz (5) [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.]
Look
at each photo, think about it for a little while, consult with your friends if
any, take a guess and write it down -- then click on the photo and count 1 for
"right", 0 for "wrong". Count -1 for guessing the wrong country. Stay
reminded -- a few farms are represented more than once. 
Here's
a hint: that's a Chemin des Crêtes trail sign.














Maybe
someday we'll have some more Jura farms here for another page. But only if I can
learn to get up earlier in the morning and range farther afield in the Jura mountains
than I do now. Feedback
and suggestions are welcome if positive, resented if negative, .
