"Kirchtag auf der Petzen"

It's a Folk Festival where everybody is having a good time.
This "Kirchtag" was scheduled for last Sunday. Last Sunday it rained in buckets and it was colder than the North Pole. The clever people postponed the festival to today, Sunday...
and today the Sun shone from a blue sky with nary a cloud in sight.
People came from everywhere.  They drove by car to the Cable Car station and some even hiked up the mountain.
It's a three hour hike... believe me I took the gondola.
Once up there I let my cameras click away.
Some of the results are posted herewith.
Let's have a beer !!!
