Alfred de Zayas' Human Rights Corner
This blog is devoted to legal, historical and human rights matters, in which issues of general concern are addressed freely and spontaneously. It is intended to further an informal exchange of views in the democratic spirit of freedom of opinion and respect for the opinions of others, in an effort to understand rather than condemn, to propose constructive solutions rather than grandstand. The perspective is both from inside and outside the box and the added value lies more in the questions than in the answers.
Before the skiing season ends, Carla and I enjoyed a couple of days in Saas Grund and at the Belalp — surprised to see so much orange-coloured Sahara sands on the slopes — which, as we read, is partly radioactive as a result of the atomic tests done by France in the Sahara some 60 years ago.
Mountain weather, crackling fickle weather!
Heavy snow at times — or light as a goose feather,
brown when thawing, orange when Sahara sands
blow over from Mediterranean far-off lands.
