Gruyères - John Howe exhibtion

Saturday me and Cindy finally saw each other again (first time after months - one could think we lived in different countries instead of just different cantons) when we did a trip to Gruyères (known mainly for its cheese) to see the John Howie exhibtion at the castle there.

It was a beautiful day (if you didn’t mind the fact that it’s winter in October), and we discovered once more what a gorgeous country Switzerland is (although also pretty touristy) as we explored the castle and admired the snow-covered mountains surrounding it. Plus, Howe’s LOTR illustrations were awesome. I am such a Rings fanatic - can’t wait for Return of the King in December, so this was practically heaven for me! :)

Some of my favorite pictures:
It was such a pity that they didn’t sell any postcards, or even a calendar, only a book that was too expensive for me - so this had to do…

And now I have to go to work. Have a good Sunday!
