25th Dec 2011 Nest In The Sky

A strange cylinder-like structure, something like a spaceship, can be seen these days, high up on the side of the Montblanc Mountain, forming part of the panoramic view of the Alps.

It's a luxury refuge. Despite it's sky high location and total isolation from any contact of civilization, it lacks nothing within: there is a salon, beds, bathroom, kitchen, central heating, and all modern commodities and comfort. All functions on solar energy.

 

It's like the song 'A little house in Canada' that goes "Of paper, of paper/High up in the mountain I have a nest/that nobody has ever seen/It's so close to the sky/seems like it has been constructed within it ... 

I love nature, mountains, serenity and feeling of freedom, sometimes I even like solitude, but no way would I like to live in this nest, comfortable as it is. I am somewhat contrary, often enjoy being on my own but with company. Does that make any sense?
