In between Olivier’s grand birthday celebrations, I spent my days photographing the charming small towns of Ardez, Scuol, and Sent. My favorite part of the towns was the old houses from the 1600s that were newly renovated in the 20th century. The outsides of them were made of stucco and many of them had designs etched on the side and the front. I later found out they are actually carved into the stucco, not painted on. The window boxes were overflowing with the abundant geraniums in tomato red and vivacious pink. Again, the houses looked like they were lifted from a fairy tale.
