The Swiss voice in the world since 1935

Reverend rambler

From the pulpit to Swiss mountain peaks.

Martin Nil had an eye for flowers. A village pastor in the Bernese Oberland between 1912 and 1949, he was also a keen photographer. He went high and low to capture photographs of alpine flora and the mountainous landscape, and then meticulously coloured the images by hand. His grandson looks back at some of his work.
