Who and why
I started this blog in Jan 2007 as a member of the City Daily Photo family representing the village of Villigen. I'm a transplant to Switzerland and keeping the blog was a way for me to keep a record of new things I learnt while sharing with others. I was on a long LONG break, and now I post only sporadically although I still have hopes of posting more regularly. Thanks for stopping by and drop me a line if you have questions or comments. Camera and other information at the foot of the page. 20150322

Camera information
My current camera is an Olympus OM-D E-M10 (2014). Main lens: Panasonic 20mm f/1.7. Zoom/macro: Olympus M.Zuiko 60mm f/2.8. Until mid-2014 I had an Olympus PEN-EP2 (2010). Up until June 2010 I used a Panasonic Lumix FZ7 (2006). Occasionally there may appear photos taken with either a Nikon Coolpix 950 that I've had since 2000 or a used Nikon Coolpix 990 I acquired in 2009.

Amazing very large door, it seems!
The autumn blue sky is gorgeous!
Thanks for your comment on Blogtrotter
This looks like a pretty old building.
both this one and the laundry pic in the last post are beautiful....they both have such fabulous rustic charm to them ...
It seems the building is old enough. I think nobody lives there. gmg is right, the door is large. Broader than high, it seems.
It's good to contrast "your" Switzerland with "Richard's". They are not the same place, are they? The washing and the door go nto my category of "rusting Chevvy trucks evocking images and reveries". Nice pictures, nice textures.
What do you think about taking food growing land to grow bio-fuels...daft, isn't it?
I very much like this photo, and the preceding one. It's the sort of topic I look for a lot myself. Abstract arrangements of rectangles and lines, characterised by a patina of textures
@chuckeroon - whatever do you mean?
Thank you all for the visits and comments.
GMG and Claude: I think that the building might be used as a garage, hence the large doors.
lv2scpbk: Probably, though on the inside, it could be renovated. A lot of times the facades are preserved while the guts are brought up to date. In this case, I'm not sure.
Moi: Thank you!
Chuckeroon: But they are very much the same place, that's the thing about Switzerland as I see it. I wonder if Richard agrees.
Richard: Danke schön!
@z and Chucker - yes - when I look at Z's blog I immediately recognise it as a Switzerland that I know. As Z says, although my images are different, it is indeed the same place. There is quite a bit of diversity here - despite the stereotypical views
Re bio-fuels - I agree this is daft - not only daft but maybe dangerous. There are regular news items these days (Italian pasta shortage, Australian wheat production etc) and I wonder if it's the start of some unintended consequences. Wheat (or arable crops) after all is one of the coprnerstones of our civilsation. The discovery of which meant we could stop becoming hunter gatherers and live in Wimpey homes instead
The BBC world service has one of their "Instant Guide" programmes focusing on wheat. A sure sign that it's breaking news
