Strong wind
But the scenery did not seem to be ready for black & white. Or was it me?

Creative breathings between my coaching units.
Bern. Switzerland. Photoessay. November 22 and 23, 2019.
Last weekend I was in Bern for a two-days coaching for one of my customers. As usual I was quite early in the morning to make sure everything was ready for the day, so I decided to slow down before the coaching and photograph the street lightning of Wankdorf square first.
What a good start into the day!
The colors remind me of Christmas!

Ticino, Switzerland. Photo storytelling, 11 October 2019.
Especially during the summer months the frenzy of thousands of cars on the highway heading north comes to an abrupt end as they get stuck in the omnipresent traffic jam south of the 16.8 km long Gotthard Road Tunnel (map, Wikipedia), which connects the swiss-italian part with the swiss-german part of Switzerland.
This time we wanted to make it better and decided for slow travelling to the North having a break here and there and everywhere, avoiding the motorway and taking our time.
Denti della Vecchia
Did you know the Denti della Vecchia, the massive geological mountain formation near Lugano – a true hiking and bouldering paradise?

Afterwork. Summer Solstice 2019.
June 21, 2019. Photoessay. Berne, Switzerland.
Afterwork.
Savouring a fine glass of B.O.R.I.S. The Crusher Oatmeal Stout and a small plate of this delicious sushi of Piedmontese beef at the Biercafe ‘Au Trappiste’; afterwards enjoying the delicious icecream (two cones with fior di latte and nocciola, and joghurt and lavender – what a dream!) at the Gelateria di Berna (Marzili); then I chased the late evening light on the skyline at ‘Zytglogge’ in Berne, before my check in at Fleury’s. What a beautiful and intense day!
