How long did it take for the little yellow tree to grow so big?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I was standing in the middle of the road under the bridge focused on my composition: One step back, to the left, to the right, up, down … – if I am right Ansel Adams<\/a> called this procedure “the photographer’s dance” – so I didn’t realize the traffic behind me waiting patiently. Maybe they must have noticed my emotional concentration and didn’t want to disturb my creative moments. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

However, struggling with the perfect composition I remembered one of my grandfathers stories: Although Switzerland fortunately was not actively involved in World War II, my grandfather’s troops had the order to blow up the bridge in case foreign troops invaded Switzerland, to slow down their advance. Fortunately, it did not happen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I wondered if the bridge would have looked the same after it was rebuilt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
