A canola field in front of the Swiss Tennis center. Interestingly that road in the foreground is “Rue de Roger Federer” – but as many times as I have been on it, I’ve never seen him.

Looks like a hill but in fact a mountain range running left and right – only looks like a hill because of the panoramic effect!

Google took the liberty of combining some separate photos I had – now the only thing missing is the chrome and loud stereo!

Girder park in Zurich
I think it’s official name is the MFO Park – Maschinenfabrik Oerlikon. It’s listed in Atlas Obscura.

Les mystérieuses voies d’eau de Bienne
One of my passions is finding “hidden canals” – and in the Swiss city of Biel/Bienne, there is quite something going on that I just don’t understand.
There is an interesting spot where waterways converge. This is how it looks on Google Maps:
And this how it looks in real life:
But this Schleusenweg (“lock-way”) to the left just runs for a bit into the city, then disappears altogether.
Like Capt. Kirk said, “I don’t like mysteries. They give me a belly-ache, and right now I’ve got a beaute.”

Héron cendré sur l’écluse
I spent a few minutes together with this gray heron, sitting on a spillway where the Schüss River pours into Lac de Bienne.
