The Aare from the PSI bridge
The PSI straddles the Aare and this is the view looking to the south from the bridge. The river originates in the Aare glacier in the Bernese alps and it runs 291 km (180 miles) before joining the Rhine in Koblenz, making it the longest river that lies entirely inside Switzerland. Some trivia: the Romans called it Obringa.
In the distance on the right, there's a glimpse of Stilli. The thing spanning the river is a conveyor system that transports rocks from a local quarry to a cement plant on the other side.

Love the stillness and the reflections.
beautiful, peaceful reflection.
Thanks for the comments. I don't know the origin of the name Stilli, but still means calm in German and my theory is that it was the calmness of the river flowing past that led to the name. I'm probably completely wrong.
