SIBERIAN PUSS HELIOS - I'M THE ASTRONAUT PUSS IN SPACE!

OUR HOME, THE SWISS ALPS!

MADELEINE and ERIC on the quest for Photo subjects!
To enjoy you, the visitors of our websites!

THE GRANITE HEART OF SWISS ALPS!

These are the granite mountains right in the heart of the Swiss Alps!
A paradise for all ambitious rock climbers!

THE WEATHER DIVIDER OF EUROPE!

They are also the most important weather divide between Northern and Southern Europe!
From the north a rain front moves up, while this is pushed back in the south by the alpine foehn!

RAIN FRONT, OR ALPINE FOEHN?

Since we are optimist, we oriented ourselves to the south.
And hoped, that we do not have to descend into the valley in a heavy rain!
Unfortunately, optimism sometimes does not pay off!
We arrived down in the valley like the proverbial drowned rats!

EXPOSED SUSPENSION BRIDGE ADVENTURE

On the way to this adventure, we already passed by this granite range some time ago!
To take shots of crossing a swinging suspension bridge over a deep gorge!
And of the climbing up of a freestanding ladder at the end of this bridge!
AN ADVENTURE, THAT'S NOTHING FOR PEOPLE WITH VERTIGO!

AN ADVENTURE THAT MAKES YOUR HANDS SWEAT TOO!

JAN 11: THE ASTRONAUT CAT IN SPACE!

SIBERIAN PUSS HELIOS - I'M THE ASTRONAUT PUSS IN SPACE!

UNTIMELY MEDITATIONS OF AN ASTRONAUT PUSS!

THE MESS AT HIS LIFT-OFF!

When he left Earth, he thought he was leaving behind the biggest mess ever!

THE MARVELOUS, HIS BRIGHT EYES SEE!

Then from space he saw the wonderful blue planet turning!
From day to night, day, night, day, night and so on!
And in his mind, he hears the marvelous prelude to the 1st act in Richard Wagner's Opera Lohengrin!

THE HORROR AT HIS RETURN!

When he returned to Earth after many days in space, he found such a mess here that was beyond imagination!
There he began gently to weep before himself!

KOYAANISQATSI!

Then he remembered the meaning of a word of the Hopi Indian language:
KOYAANISQATSI - LIFE OUT OF BALANCE!

WHO IS THE ASTRONAUT CAT IN SPACE?

IT'S HELIOS, THE SIBERIAN PUSS!
Who lives together with MADELEINE BIANCHI and ERIC MAURER
