Cool visualization
Just saw this data visualization, which I thought was pretty cool:
Swiss house
Bienne
Büren castle
Büren an der Aare
“Low Riders” in Bern?
Gruyères Landscape
Weird plants
Gruyères Landscape
Air duct
SBB / CFF / FFS
AMAZING! After 20 years it still runs!
Sorry if I have become a Java-hater, but I really did not expect a language with so many deprecations to run after all these years! As explained here I was one of the first people to write a rather large application using the relatively new “Swing” library,

Maison des abeilles solitaires
You find these all over France and Switzerland – maybe Germany too, but I’ve never seen one in Germany. It’s a hotel for solitary bees! Of course, it begs an interesting question: why are there solitary bees? Were bees originally soloists that then developed an advantage with hives? Or were wayward bees kicked out of their hives?
A blog about a blog
I don’t normally publish book reviews or recommendations, only in very exceptional circumstances. A good friend of mine has started a blog — a real blog, not like mine, and if you like thinking about things you might enjoy it:
Bern
Tissot Arena
The volcano fields of Germany
Plafond du bâtiment académique
Une autre ancienne ancienne église à biel
ancienne église de Bienne
Misplaced milk
Plastic cow

I think the same holds true for this, une Vache française en plastique.
Bern
Girder park in Zurich
I think it’s official name is the MFO Park – Maschinenfabrik Oerlikon. It’s listed in Atlas Obscura.
