Eventually,Continue reading “Setting out for new horizons: Lucerne to Flüelen”

Once upon a time…
Outdoor laundry. Walking along Ascona‘s lungolago, I come across this testimonial photography. In a time not too long ago, women were washing clothes in lakes and rivers even here in Switzerland. It brings back memories of many other places in the world, where I have seen women (and even men) doing their “outdoor laundry”. TheContinue reading “Once upon a time…”

It allows me to wonder, about myself, about the others, about the mind and perceptions, about theContinue reading “What is your story?”
Four seasons: Spring feelings in Zurich
Everything is waking up. Nature. People. Children. Ideas. More light, more energy. It is a special time of the year.

Leaving the winter retreat
There was winter and suddenly it felt like spring. Time to leave my winter retreat. It was a good time in a warm place. In the mountains, in nature. Simple, refreshing.
