Morning Sky in Horw
Travelling with the Swiss railway system has its own benefits: beside of the ability to do work (emails, documents, meeting preparation) while travelling, it has the advantage of beautiful views.

Kapellbrücke Luzern: Sunset over the Chapel Bridge in Lucerne
Nearly every day I travel through Lucerne by train. One of the most beautiful places in Lucerne is just a few meters away from the train station: The Kapellbrücke. Today I realized that I have never posted a picture of it. And because we had such a beautiful sunset light this evening, here we go:
Happy Bridging 🙂

Winter made its heavy entry in Switzerland last night, covering my home with 5 centimeter of wet and heavy snow. High areas received up to 1 meter which caused a lot of problems.

I already guessed on Sunday that this will not last for long…
Cattle and Mountains
Every season has its special colors. I very much like the warm colors of the Fall season. Maybe this was the weekend before we will get snow into the lower areas. Soon everything will be covered by cold snow….

Happy Falling 🙂
There are so many beautiful places in Switzerland, and I have not visited them all. I finally made it to the Château de Chillon on my last week-end tour (see “Weekend Starting Fire“):
