Last week we did a trip to Gaschurn (in Austria) and from there we hiked to “Wiegensee”. It was a wonderful time and the “Speckknödel” were really yummy. 🙂
Here are some impressions:

Here are some impressions of today’s tour through Zürich.
There are so many wonderful details of work that is made to last. I really appreciate those things. Nowadays so many products are of poor quality or have no use and are quickly disposed of.
Have a nice weekend everyone and take care of you and your surroundings.

Here are some impressions of Basel, which has so many lovely details:

There are some amazing doors in Basel. Here are some of them:

On Wednesday there was the Cortège again. These are just a few of the many amazing things we’ve seen:

On Tuesday there are small groups walking through Basel and playing (mostly drums and Piccolo) music.
Guggen (marching bands playing brass instruments, pipes and drums) were more present and had several concerts in the evening.
There was also a Parade for the children and exhibitions of requisites.
In the Pictures you can see the red-black Ueli costume as well as the white-blue- Blätzlibajass with the drum. The two hairy kids with the big nose wear Waggis costumes.
The golden-silver badge is a Blaggedde, which one wears to support Fasnacht, so it’s not depending on further sponsorship. Blaggedde are available in different price-ranges, starting with 10 Swiss francs.
As a recommendation if you want to visit Basler Fasnacht as a photographer:
If you want to take pictures on Morgestraich: Please switch off all helping lights of cameras as well as the flash. If you need to use screens: Please wait a long while or consider not taking the pictures. Nowadays there are many pictures on the web available. The light-free surrounding is an important part of the magic of this event.

Here are just a few more lanterns, some were surrounded by people and my focus was more on looking than on taking pictures.

Here are some impressions of this years Morgestraich. Lots of wonderful memories!

I won some tickets, so yesterday we went to the Zoo. It was a wonderful day and I even had the luck to see a very young hyena. Here are some impressions.
Have a nice weekend
