"SWITZERLAND" Switzerland by Phalaenopsis03

During my visit to Switzerland, I found it to be perhaps one of the most beautiful countries I have ever seen. Waterfalls amid lush greenery, snow-capped mountains, charming hillside homes, etc., were all too breathtaking for me. Known the world over for its political neutrality, Swiss bank accounts, timepieces, pocket knives, cookoo cookoo clocks, and so many other things, it's a wonder why the country aesthetically appears relatively untouched by the spoils of man. Little villages still prosper and farmers maintain their humble professions. Switzerland is a lovely and special place that I look forward to revisiting.
