Badersee, Germany

The Badersee is a lake located at the foot of the Zugspitze, Germany's highest mountain. The lake never freezes because it is replenished from subterranean warm springs. The lovely card is able to convey some of the special reflective quality of the water, although in reality it's more green than blue.


Here's the back of the card:

    When I was in Germany with three friends we couldn't stop saying Zugspitze over and over again. There's just something about the word. Your whole mouth gets involved. You have to be committed once you start saying it. It's not a word you can enter into without being willing to go right on through the "spitze".

    Lovely image.

    Love that water. Makes me want to roll up my pants and throw the shoes off.
