Finding light in Turin
Published in
Probably my favourite thing to do when visiting a city is to seek out special light with my camera. It helps me truly see the details of the place I’m visiting.

Taking a brain break by being where there are interesting scenes to ponder.
Second attempt
Published in
The single arrival of the day from Merligen on the BLS winter cruise schedule. The captain had to reverse and re-dock at the ship jetty in Faulensee because he buggered up the approach.
The last IKEA coffee of the day
Published in
The coffee cups at Ikea are half the size of regular mugs, but if you arrive at the café 15 minutes before closing time on a Saturday, there’s no time to take advantage of the free refills. On the other hand, you don’t have to sit amongst screaming kids and their minders, so…
Adapting into the new season

Reminding myself that although mountain hiking season is over now, there are still wonderful opportunities to walk and clear the mind.

Random things in April
Published in

Random things in April
Published in
It’s been a while since I thought of sharing anything on my website. Things have been very busy, both with work, trips here and there and with getting our balcony ready for summer. Instead of waffling on, I thought I’d try a new approach for a change: a brief visual review of what I got…
Random things in March

As the previous post for April went down well, I thought I’d work backwards and start adding a few new little galleries of photos to show what I’ve been up to each month. Here’s March 2022 in pictures.
Urban nature
Published in
Walking by the river in Bern, where the views and scenes are more interesting than beautiful. (At least, at this time of year and under uninspiring weather conditions.)
