Zürich - EM Party town

Just a few pics from L_K_M giving a bit of the party atmosphere. The first is looking out over the Fanzone at Sechsaläutenplatz.

The neatly lit Grossmunster in the background.

And a couple of nice shots of the bridge from Bürkliplatz to Bellevue.

First week of the EM - Photos

Lest we forget what it’s all about, here’s a photo of some actual football. One of the best exponents of the game with the ball at his feet.

Looks like rain?

Two countries that have impressed so far - Holland and Portugal. […]

More photos of Chateau Chillon

In my previous post I described one of Switzerland’s best known monuments.
Today, I figured I missed a chance to really show it off, so here are some photos of it that I really like.
I hope they show how the character of the place changes with the seasons and light.

The night of the churches in St Gallen:

And finally for no apparent reason, a random picture from Bern, just because there’s something about it I like.

Here we go, another round of interesting photos posted in the last week.
First off, not only is it officially now spring, the flowers in the mountains think so too.

Next, a view across the lake at Geneva at night.

Again in Geneva, or to be precise, underneath it. Part of the CERN nuclear accelerator project.

And just […]
