Lots of work stopped me from going out so much, but we did get in a great trip to canton Wallis.

Making more of an effort to publish moving pictures, including one from Dartmoor in June.

With a name like “Ice Path”, you know before you arrive that a hiking route is going to be a pretty spectacular one.

This music video by Bayview Sounds for their song “Home Alone” is very evocative of my trips to the northern and eastern Scottish coasts, with sea haar and low sun whilst driving along narrow roads. (The video was actually filmed in the far northern Scottish county of Caithness, which feels like the end of the…

Using 1970s technology to drive a tank through a miniature landscape.

I remember seeing Oasis early in their career when they played a Sunday afternoon slot on the subsidiary NME stage at Glastonbury Festival in 1994. The indelible memory is the sheer wall of sound coming from the stage, even then, before they released Definitely Maybe. Two years later, they played two legendary sets at Knebworth.…

Walking in the snowy landscape of Axalp, high above Lake Brienz in the Swiss Bernese Oberland.

Marr’s rendition shows what a joyful song this is, despite the superficial conclusion which many (or most) people draw from the chorus. It’s not about death, but the incredibly deep love felt by the protagonist. I think this didn’t come across in Morrissey’s renditions, because his style emphasised misery instead of joy.

I’m looking forward to the new cable-cars next year. I hope that they’ll have dirt-repellent, scratch-resistant windows. (Sequence filmed in February 2021.)

Finally got a tow bar fitted to the car, which means we can mount a bike rack, which means we can take our bikes further afield at last!

The beautiful cinematography of The Sound of Music, which I watched for the first time this year.

When the temperature of snow is above -10°C, it melts slightly when you crush it by walking on it. At temperatures below -10°C, the ice crystals are crushed, which makes a squeaking sound.

Wonderful and unusual drone and time-lapse sequences from the Visit Scotland YouTube channel.

My first little video put together using Adobe Premier Pro, using some old video clips from 2011.

Jo reminded me earlier of the Ranz des Vaches (or Lyôba), a classical Swiss alpine song which has stirred the hearts of many Swiss for years. It’s said that the song made those Swiss living abroad so homesick, that singing and playing it was banned amongst Swiss mercenaries in the eighteenth century, so as not…

Schilthorn is a fascinating location where the James Bond Movie “On Her Majesty’s Secret Service” was filmed and remains a huge tourist attraction with a revolving 360 degree restaurant. Schilthorn Piz-gloria is one of my favorite places to ski because you’re always above the clouds and the skiing is so beautiful. Words cannot describe the…

A time-lapse sequence of the journey between Goppenstein and Kandersteg through the Lötschberg tunnel.

I’ve been using WordPress since the very first version and love it. In a talk at WordCamp Zurich, I shared some of the experiences I’ve gained as a CMS developer, website builder, content manager and blogger since the late 1990s.
