Liechtenstein in Fall Time

Liechtenstein is a beautiful, clean, and well-kept country. The autumn has fallen upon the land, and the leaves are changing. The cool weather has hit us here in the Rhine Valley. Gone are the days of summer, and here are the days of crunchy leaves and shorter days. For those of you who do not know, Liechtenstein is actually still ruled by the prince and his family, who appoints the ruling congress. He has done quite a good job in recent years, as the little country enjoys an almost unparalleled quality of life. The royal family still lives in the castle in the pictures below. The other pictures show the powdery snow in the mountains and a tree in downtown Vaduz, the capital city.
