There's something about LARGE photos that make any story on the internet more interesting, even if the pictures aren't necessarily beautiful or unusual. Today I ran across a photoessay about the making of cheese at an isolated hut high in the Swiss alps.
The two photos above show the washing of the cheese forms (in the cows' water trough), and the separation of the hot whey from the curds. You can also learn how to use a "guitar" (tranche-caille) to cut the curds. And view a lifestyle which is both interesting and reminiscent of a dream from the 1960s.
The images above enlarge if you click on them, but much better to go to the photoessay (it only takes about 2 minutes to browse through - and note there is a second page)
