01/10/10 Took these shots earlier this year in Adelboden, Switzerland and am still totally in love with them.

Went hiking with a friend in Adelboden, got hopelessly lost and after 5 hours of walking up and down, and despite running the last stretch uphill, missed the bus to back to town. Public transport up there isn’t exactly frequent and my friend wanted to hit the cheese shop before it closed, so we hitchhiked our way back. The only person stopping was a wiry gentleman in his seventies with a deep tan and massive gaps in his teeth, on his way back from an uphill marathon. His name was Robert Schmid. I shamefully have to admit he was only about half as exhausted as either one of us. We did make it to the cheese shop though, just in the nick of time.
