The mountain village of Zermatt, Switzerland is nestled in a valley
between steep mountains, and it is dominated by the Matterhorn.
When you exit your Swiss-red train, and see the cobblestone streets
and horses and carriages, you immediately will notice are no cars.
The air is clean and fresh, and the people want to keep it that way
The main street bustles with people shopping, dining and having a
good time, and there are no tour busses anywhere. In short,
everything is cute and fun, and you immediately know where Walt
Disney got many of his ideas for Disneyland, as you can see the
Matterhorn from nearly every prospective in the Zermatt village.
And this is exactly why photographer John D. Weigand and author and
poet Penelope Dyan went there, to capture some of the magic of
Zermatt. It seemed like the perfect spot for kids, nestled in the
serenity of the Swiss Alps. . . just waiting to be ogled and
explored. The Zermatt nights were even more beautiful than the day
as the Weigand photographs portray, but most amazing of all was the
Matterhorn, shining white against the sky by day, and full of
amazing color by night.
