This is the Matterhorn, possibly the most famous mountain in the Swiss Alps. I took this picture from our hotel room in Zermatt, Switzerland in May of 2005. One of the distinguishing characteristics of Zermatt is that there are no gas powered engines on any of the vehicles in the town--everything runs off electricity, which keeps the air clean and pollution-free. As a result the air there is clean, crisp, and clear. It makes for great pictures. We got a much closer look at the Matterhorn from Gornergratt, but I felt like the panoramic view of the valley was the better picture.Another picture tomorrow...
