A Conference, Yellow Flowers and Green Bugs …
I’m spending a few days off in the Alps these days, if you are wondering :-). So I share a few wildflower pictures (click to enlarge) from the hiking tours today. Many trails were closed due the security measurements for the Bilderberg summit in the area, so we had to change our plans. First I thought it was for the G7 summit which is over and was on another alp in Germany. But then I realized that they did that massive thing (military forces, no-fly zone, mobile radar systems, etc) for that Bilderberg conference too. At least it did not impact us much, except using alternative routes, hikes and trails.

One of 80’000: Lightning Struck over Lucerne Area
In Switzerland, Meteo Schweiz normally counts 200’000 to 500’000 lightnings every year. On June 7th 2015, the system counted over 80’000! In that evening, a heavy thunderstorm moved over most parts of Switzerland. I have not been able to take good pictures myself, but Michael Uebelhart shared that one from the Bürgenstock overlooking the Lucerne area with me:

Preparing for Austin/TX – with no Rudy’s Sauce
YES! I’m going to attend the Freescale Technology Forum conference (http://www.freescale.com/ftf) in Austin, Texas Jun 22-25 this year. Right on time, as I have run out of Rudy’s BBQ sauce (see “Smoking BBQ Baby Back Ribs – Swiss Style“): I will need to travel light so I have enough space and weight room for bringing back BBQ sauce :-). But ‘no sauce’ does not mean ‘no BBQ‘!!!!

Campus Horw, Yesterday
Image
Well, I took that picture yesterday morning of the University campus in Horw, not thinking much about it. Except that I liked the composition of white, blue, red and green with yellow:
Campus Horw
Except that today is a cold, windy and rainy day, making the view from yesterday even more beautiful.
Happy Sunshining 🙂
Spring is coming, slowly…
The days are getting longer, cherry trees start blooming while the Alps are still snow-covered in the background:

So we got a lot of snow. What to do with it? Build a Snow Men! Of course not one of a normal size, just a little bit bigger and taller:
