flic.kr/p/2rHDWxDOn 20 November in the village of Gruyères in Neuchâtel, I had the chance to witness the first major snowfall of the season, thanks to Murad bhai.
It was a soft, quiet, and almost magical experience. A fresh layer of snow covered the narrow path, marked only by a few footprints. Snow rested on the tree branches, and fluffy white flakes drifted down, making the whole surroundings calm and still.
Gruyères is a small village that has preserved its medieval character in a simple, authentic way. The old fort and the mist-covered hills looked even more enchanting with the first touch of winter. The village’s old lanes and its slow-paced life seemed to pause in the silence of the falling snow.
