Midsummer Night's Dream - a photo on Flickriver

Early summer is the best time in the mountains, because the alpine meadows explode with colorful flowers. My favorite is the Rhododendron ferrugineum. It is sometimes aptly called snow-rose or by its German name alpenrose, as it produces clusters of pinkish-red, bell-shaped flowers.

Thousands of such colorful dots sprinkling a whole mountain side are a sight to behold, especially when they are seemingly mirrored by millions of twinkling stars in the night sky. What do you need more for paradise? A calm mountain lake, a cozy camp fire and a shooting star?

No problem: Welcome to Switzerland!

Ok, the shooting star is a flash of a manmade Iridium satellite, but it fits the cliché.
