Arosa; Switzerland
Under a soft wintry sky, horse racing on the frozen Obersee. The races exist since 90 years.
One of the pretty train stations on the way up to Arosa;
Horses waiting to take people on a sleigh tour.

Sleighing sounds like a lot of fun.
I wonder how the horses manage not to slip on the frozen ground. Didn't know there were races on snow. Interesting photos.
Would like to be there with you to catch one of those sleigh rides. Great pics. Love ML
Interesting beautiful pictures! Machst Du gerade Urlaub?
If horses had toes they'd all be blue!

Doesn't that look like fun. How nce that your friend sent you these photos.
Looks cold. I can imagine the race would be funny - lots of slipping and sliding :-)

The sky does look soft.
Fun and interesting - I didn't associate horse racing with snow. sleighs, yes - races, no.
Titania: Now I must admit, I would have never thought anyone would race on ice with horses. Nice series of photos.
Lovely series of photos! A sleigh ride must be wonderful!
I really enjoyed your sky watch photos today. I love the horses in the last one.
Have a great week.

Hallo Titania
O schöne Bilder aus St. Moritz! Ich wohne in der Schweiz und war noch nie dort *lach*.
Schönes Wochenende und eine gute Woche wünscht Dir

Love the horses racing on the snow. Nice set of photos.
I too am wondering how the horses manage to keep on their feet. Do they have spikes on their shoes?
I've never seen that kind of racing before.
That horse must be in pain when they carve that numbers :(
Thank you for taking sky watch on tour with you for a different view of the horizon.
Great photos, thank you for sharing with us all.
Sleighing would be fun. Great series of shots.
So cold! I have never seen a horse race in the snow. Such a white sky! I never see that!
My first thought also...how do the horses run on ice? It's fun to learn new things from others.
Sorry, ich meinte natürlich Arosa, es war wohl ein bisschen spät.
Liebe Grüsse

The pictures from Switzerland are really nice! I'd like to be there, too...
Snow, sleigh rides, pretty houses, mountains - nice!
Thank you to all for your nice comments on my SWF.
