Doldenhorn to left of spire S. S. E. c. 1910

Curator: I’m struck by the quiet stillness in this photograph. What do you feel when you see it? Editor: It feels like a landscape suspended in time, somehow. This is a photographic print by A. G. Wehrli, titled "Doldenhorn to left of spire S. S. E." It depicts a quaint church nestled amongst imposing mountains. Curator: Yes, it's beautiful! I wonder, though, what stories that little church has witnessed. It's like a sentinel guarding the valley. Editor: I think you're right about that. The church almost becomes a symbol of resilience against the overwhelming power of nature, but I wonder how the development of tourism has impacted such communities in the Swiss Alps. Curator: It's a poignant juxtaposition, isn't it? Beauty and vulnerability intertwined. Editor: Precisely! It’s a reminder of the complexities inherent in our relationship with the natural world.
