May 28: Zernez evening 2
I kept on exploring.

Oh... oh dear.
7837
As frequently happens on Zernez evenings, I was drawn up the mountainside past the churches.
7838
The Hauptkirche from the north.
7842
Both churches from uphill.
7843
Longitudinal fence...
7844
...transverse fence.
7846
The Chastè Wildenberg and the info center in plain view, and a small foreshortened stretch of the En in the distance.

There's that mystery clock-like structure. Now I'm thinking maybe someone's explained to me what these are, but if so I've fully forgotten again. I sort of like the mystery actually; it adds to their surreality. Note that the hand is in the same position as in the 2005 photo.
7858
As I rose further, the view widened out to encompass both churches.
7860
Eventually I got up to this plateau that I'd discovered on the previous trip. I don't know what the story is on it, but it's a superb outlook over the town.

Voted #1 view bench in Zernez six years and running!

A nice comprehensive view of the southern reaches of Zernez, known as Clüs, over to the left, along with the center of town at right. In the middle is, I think, a public pool; the building just beyond the info center is the Familienbad. It's fascinating that the field just past that has been preserved from building, while Clüs has encircled it fully. I wonder how that happens to be.
7873
A whole array of excellent view benches.
7876
Spotlight on Wildenberg and its courtyard.
7881
A lurky view of the mystery clock house.
