May 28: Tarasp Fontana 2
Then some more of the rest of Fontana.
7405
Trompe-l'oeil windowframe sgraffito and a pious mural — but what is that round hole next to the Holy Spirit??
7406
Looking across the way to Fontana Sura. Note the intense firewood collection at lower left [via tree trunks].
7408
Rather than hiking back down as I'd come up, I took the road to the right, heading up the Engadin, with the intention of ending up at Ardez.
7411
The road's retaining wall considerately recessed to accommodate this fountain.
7414
I think this winding platform might have been another bridge over the stream, but its construction is perplexing and fascinating.
7415
Houses, church, castle.
7416
At the western edge of the village, Chasa Craps.
7417
Houses, church, castle, once again for good measure, but staccato this time rather than legato.
7421
Plants and house tenaciously clinging to a cliff.
7422
A trail of cows as if strewn from the Schloss.
7425
Back down to the streamside trail I had hiked up on. Way back down.
7429
Ftan-Pitschen and a plethora of terraces. Plerraces.
7430
Closeup on the Chastè showcasing what appears to be a very zigzaggy covered stair.
7431
One last look at Fontana, perhaps actually the most comprehensive yet.
