Baso elurtua (Snowy forest)

Bernina Pass (Suitza, Svizzera)

Mendi baso bat elurrez estalia gure bidean. Zuhaitzek, hostoan faltan, ahul eta biluzik ematen dute. Garai oparoagoen esperoan daude baina. A mountain forest covered by snow came in our way. The trees without leaves look weak and naked. However, they are just waiting for better times.

Burdinezko sugea elur artean (Iron snake in the snow)

Bernina Pass (Suitza, Svizzera)

Tren sugea zigi-zaga doa mendi gainan zehar lanbroak inguratuta. Munduan bakarrik geundela ematen zuen baina gu leihoaren bestaldeko paisaiaz soilik arduratzen ginen. The train snake crosses slowly the top of the mountain surrounded by the mist. It felt like being alone in the world, but we only cared about the view out of the window.

Trenean bidai batean bihurguneak honelako argazkiak hartzeko toki ezin hobeak dira, eta Bernina mendirako bidean bihurguneak soberan zeuden. Zuhaitzen adarrek eta hostoek lehen planoan higitzeko sentsazio gehitzen diote irudiari. 

Travelling by train, turns are the place to take pictures like this, and in the way to the Bernina mountain turns are all over the place. The branches and the leaves of the trees in the first plane added a feeling of movement to the picture.

This wooden structure was on the edge of the precipice. It looked like an impossible sculpture taken to the realm of Nature. It gave a sense of distance to the snowy mountains in the far.

The couple felt surrounded by snow and used a seat to have a vantage point of the landscape. The place is at a short walking distance from the Pontresina train station. A few of us opened a path in the snow to go there.
