en route à Mendrisio

Last Thursday, several of us drove "cross-country" to the south of Switzerland, in canton Ticino, near the border with Italy. The low-elevation and proximity to lakes makes the climate quite mild and more like the Mediterranean.

Of course, the drive there took us through some stunning landscapes. At one point we realized that the color palette had completely changed, here you can see more reds and ochres-- perhaps the elevation or geology caused a shift in plant ecology.
