Hochnebel be damned


I was so freakin' sick and tired of waking up to the same milky overcast every damn day this month that on my last day off, we went up to our local mountain, Uetliberg, the one you see from our apartment window, about 20 minutes by train from the main station, approximately 2500 feet above sea level. It's high enough to be over the hochnebel, where the skies are crisp clear blue much of the winter and the views of the Alps spectacular. Of course, it wasn't any warmer than down in soupy Zurich, but at least the sun felt good and the views of the sea-like cloud layer down below phenomenal.
