The author, with rucksack and camera, has crossed his mountain homeland of northeastern Switzerland, recording the seasonal changes of the alpland and the life of the herds. New-born lambs, peaceful cattle, galloping horses, hidden flowers, and towering peaks are among the subjects. The horse-alps have vanished, save at Suren, upper Engadine, and Alp Funtauna, below Piz Kesch. One must see these pictures to believe it.
