 Farms 
of the Jura in winter The 
Quiz (2) 
  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. 
  15 More Stumpers 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. Be 
warned -- a few farms are represented on these quiz pages more than once. 
 There's 
no time limit on this -- there's nobody with a stopwatch grinning and itching 
to disqualify you. So if you want to take a break and improve your score by dusting 
off your old skis or snowshoes and going up next winter to verify your answers 
first, there's no penalty. That's 
Dr Joe sitting on that roof. The cross-country ski track should make a good 
clue.
