Hike to Forte Foëns

Above our rented flat for the week, the mountain roads and trails take you to a variety of military installations including Forte Foëns, which was barely accessible by foot due to some damaged roads – bikers and cyclists would already have their problems, which obviously influenced my choice of routes in the following days.

Early summer hike

We returned to Bardonecchia, this time with the full family and all equipment, to do some hiking, exploring and motorbiking as well. Today, though, we went for a rather relaxed stroll to encounter some macro stuff.

Aurora borealis

Polar lights in Switzerland – a rare but recently somewhat more typical occurrence due to solar flare activity. This one was taken at one of my favorite places in the immediate surroundings on top of a Jura mountain chain with a solitary tree.

Cherry blossom

Wonderful weather to get the cherry trees blossom in my own garden. Fingers crossed they will fruit.

Basel Cityscapes

During a quick business trip to Basel I took the opportunity of the sunset at the right time for me to get some dynamic mainstation square shots near Aeschengraben.
