Week 3 - Thing 5

I had fun exploring Flickr, Tags and Groups. Then I got carried away looking at photos of one of my favorite mountains, the Matterhorn. Unfortunately, I was not able to transfer the photo to my blog. Here is my next challenge....I will learn.

Matterhorn and Zermatt, Valais, Switzerland

Out of the Train - few of Zermatt and Matterhorn -The Matterhorn (14,693 feet) is perhaps the most familiar mountain in the European Alps. On the border between Switzerland and Italy, it towers over the Swiss village of Zermatt and the Italian village Breuil-Cervinia in the Val Tournanche. The mountain derives its name from the German words matt, meaning valley or meadow, and horn, which means peak.
