Beautiful Engadine even in the rain

Imagine waking to this view . What a lucky person I am to be able to see this and to be able to smell the fresh air after the storms. My day was made. 

 

This phenomenum is called the Maloja Snake, a long white cloud which winds its way through the Upper Engadine from the Maloja Pass. It is simply gorgeous.

Add to that the raindrops on the plants and trees - stunning 

 

Unfortunately , you can't see the raindrops, but regardless, the outside of my cabin and the inside  of my door are just wonderful.

I worked a little but I took time to savour this little summer home of mine. For those who do not know this absolutely fantastic place, here are 4 different aspects of the Zuoz centre, all equally lovely.

 

 
 The above picture shows the very pretty village school
 This photo is looking  up towards the ski slopes, where who knows, we may see snow tomorrow - forecast to 2000 metres ans Zuoz is 1800. I am indebted to Tiziana, my local friend and camp coordinator for her extra blankets!

I did manage a walk behind the golf course before being drenched in a torrential downpour, 2 hours earlier than expected😐

 
Looking back at Zuoz, the Lyceum stands out at the back with its stunning orange and yellow buildings.

Calm here now at the campsite,

 
 The snake is back but storms expected later. They were certainly dramatic last night!
