Unique in the World, a photo from Sankt Gallen, East

Photographer's Note

The best lake in the world to understand immediately that mountain building the way you were told in school is a lie.

------------ MY REPLY to one of the comments below:

Thanks for your reply, showing that not everyone around here is brainwashed.
Now, why this is the best lake in the world for that[to understand the mountain building lie], there is more that what meets the eye in this photo. Check the theme...

See explanation of the big picture (how the Alps were formed) in theme.
Now for the details: no, the valley on the right of the lake is not the result of erosion. It is the result of Intelligent Design.

I do not understand what you are saying with your note but the picture is gorgeous. Do you know the name of the mountain you are standing on? What I think is very interesting here is the little delta the river coming out of that valley on the opposite shore of the lake has accumulated over the last thousands of years... The former shoreline was changed.
Well, just a small part of an overwhelming panorama!

Hi Francis!
A great view of the Alps and the lake. As far as I understand your meaning, such great forms, unsmoothed by the elements, show that things happen suddenly and not so long ago...
