I don't expect them to be like that. I expect the mountains to be like that. Tall, snow covered mountains with green pastures filled with wildflowers.

Though when I was in the Alps in the late 20th century, I was delighted by the sight of villages with all these traditional homes with white walls and shutters and low, dark sloping roofs and piles of cut wood almost reaching the eaves. Some of the places had murals / designs painted on the walls. It was like driving in a storybook.
