SWITZERLAND = HEAVEN ON EARTH. I honestly feel like I am in a fairy tale world when I’m in Switzerland. The landscape takes my breath away. The first time I went there I took my favorite photo I’ve ever taken, and the only photo of mine I have had printed to hang on my own wall. I am so in love with this place.

9. It’s the next Jurassic Park location?!
No seriously, I have no idea what this SUV was doing there… but luckily I got a photo as it rolled by… maybe they are secretly filming the next Jurassic Park here?! Or this guy just painted his car that way because he gets a kick out of driving it around and seeing people’s reactions…
