Former chocolate factory, Blenio valley

This is "URA e TERZIVE" bridge in vicinity of Gjakova Municipality. Bridge was builded in 18 century by a local Albanian noble called "Esnafi i Terzive" which in translation means "Esnaf of Tailors". Otherwise, founder of Gjakova is Syleman Efendiu,well known with his nickname Hadum Aga, borned in Gjakova. Town of Gjakova was established in the fields of a local Albanian named Jak VULA, and in the beggining was called as "Jakova" (Jak's fields). Family "Vula" even today is wellknown and it is big Albanian family in Kosova.

Avanhandava, S.P.

Esta linda a foto;porem melhor estaria se no lugar desse lindo gado, estivesse frondosas árvores, em uma tão nesseçaria mata ciliar

Paraíso perdido, esté donde esté.

Lago di Lei: Barrage within Swiss, lake within Italian boundaries. Barrage is accessible through a tunnel from Switzerland. No other roads are in the area. The other side of the lake has some housings on Italian soil but are accessible only through Switzerland. The positioning of the barrage made a land exchange necessary; about 1 km further North Switzerland ceded a similar surface area to Italy.

position seems correct to me, except that taken some 20m away from barrage wall.

The ugly ww1 Morgarten monument seems to indicate the battle location near the lake. But it is not located where the battle actually took place. That is about 1600m further South.
