On the sidewalk. A windy day. A leaf, an abandoned scarf, a woman walking along with her dog and her camera, looking down.

Riffelberg Chapel «Bruder Klaus»
image
The construction of the chapel on Riffelberg was realised for the same reasons as the construction of the Gornergrat chapel, built by the mayor at the time, Theodor Biner, and Pastor Franz Fux.
Church offerings and collections made up the financial basis. In August 1961, the chapel was consecrated by Arthur Elchinger, Bishop of Strassburg. This chapel is also owned by the local community. The patron saint is St. Nicholas of Flüe. The architect Ferdinand Pfammatter drew up the plans.
The contour lines correspond with the Weisshorn seen behind almost identically. The modern building is decidedly different to that of the baroque chapels in the various hamlets round about the village. Natural stone walls are interrupted by glass windows. The roof is extended to the front and protects the entrance. In the tower, similar to a pointed triangle, hangs a small bell. The interior is bright, due to the large windows. Natural stone walls alternate with wood panelling. A Brother Claus statue is located on the right-hand side. The altar is made of sandstone with a wrought-iron tabernacle, the symbols of the Eucharist are made of enamel and a Cross is made of rock crystal. In 1964 Dr. Hans Schäffer, owner of the world-famous gallery in New York, donated a marvellous altarpiece, a painting that was created around 1400 in Barcelona. Originally, it was likely part of a winged altarpiece from a Catalan church. It portrays the Mother of God on a rectangular throne with the divine child on her arm. Four singing and accompanying angels are on each side. The whole picture is completed with leaf-like ornamental shapes and a Gothic pointed arch.

chapel "Maria zum Schnee" @ schwarzsee zermatt
image
www.zermatt.net/pfarrei/kapelle/schwarzsee.html
aus den Tiefen des Internets:
Bergsteiger haben diese schlichte Kapelle als Dank für ihre Rettung aus Bergnot am Rande des unergründlichen Schwarzsees gebaut.
Man sagt, dass die Dämonen des Matterhorns sich für seine Erstbesteigung gewalttätig gerächt haben. Der Erstbesteiger des Matterhorns, Lord Douglas, durfte nicht mehr zu den Lebenden zurück. Sie behielten ihn am Berg im Schnee. Der Bergführer der Erstbesteigung, Peter Taugwalder, ertrank anschließend im dunkel dräuenden Schwarzsee. Und auch dessen jüngster Sohn wurde von den rasenden Dämonen in die unergründlich dunklen Tiefen des Schwarzsees hinuntergezogen.
#3054 near gornergrat @ zermatt switzerland

Mark Twain ascended the Gornergrat in August 1878 and admiringly enjoyed the Gornergrat panorama: „From this high seat, I had a marvellous view of the Monte Rosa and what appeared to be all the rest of the alpine world. A mighty group of snow-covered summits towered along the horizon. The splendour of the sun on the alpine snow was unimaginable. Nowhere else is there such an exhibition of size and beauty as can be seen from the summit of the Gornergrat.“ (Mark Twain, 1878)
