With this new scans of old slides I try my best to add the location as geotag. This is sometimes quite difficult and becomes an obsession. Yesterday I searched for hours in Google Earth and Google Street View, until I found it finally (see Google Street View below). Happy and sad at the same time, because the wonderful old tree has collapsed in the meantime and has been cut into pieces. Anyway - HFF and stay safe and happy, folks!

Cat Cat Village The village of Cat Cat was founded in the 19th century by some families, the H'Mong and Dzao. The village, which is situated in a beautiful valley just outside Sapa, is an attraction because here you can see the whole range of professions and works they do, from the farmer to the weaver and the artist.

A special house: The House of the Dead on the Great St. Bernard Most visitors pass this house carelessly. It is an inconspicuous building. The former entrance at the front is walled up. It is the House of the Dead, where people who died in snowstorms or avalanches were buried as they were found, standing in their clothes, mummified in the cold, dry air. In 1476 the house of the dead was built, the entrance was walled up around 1950.
