Photo of the Week - Shadows on the Wall

The Sunday before I went off to Hong Kong, Alessio and I went to Zug for the afternoon. It was a wonderful sunny and cold day, the ones you have to take advantage of, as there are so few of them! We walked around for a while, then I saw the shadows on the wall of the castle and thought they looked nice. The castle was closed, so we just wandered on trying to find a cafe, there are some but they all seemed busy.

V is for Views

Finally getting to the end of the alphabet series, now onto the letter V and what better word than views. I have seen lots of wonderful views and was hard to pick only five on them, so here goes!

The first photo is of Lake Zug, then we have the city of Zurich from the Uetliberg, then it is Lake Gruyeres from the castle, then the beautiful city of Mahon in Menorca and finally Mont Blanc from Chamonix!

Which ones do you like the best?

Wishing you all a great weekend!

Shop Signs

One of the interesting things about walking around old parts of cities are that often the shop signs literally stand out for you to gaze upon. The first 8 photos are in Zurich and the area behind the Niederdorf, the signs are not just for shops but for bars, restaurants and galleries. I like the hat sign and the old train engine which  is actually a very small restaurant.

The next 6 photos were taken yesterday in Zug, it was a beautiful sunny, cold day, Alessio and I went for the afternoon. There were two oldish streets where I saw the signs, I like the one with the old fashioned weighting scales.
