frisch und freundlich


Our little village shop is actually part of a chain: Volg concentrates on small communities. They must feel fierce pressure from the two giant chains, Coop and Migros, and I wonder if their days are numbered.

The object with the sign is a bike stand. On the left is a receptacle for PET bottles (Wikipedia entry about the recycling of PET bottles). The cartoon instructs people to flatten the bottles before depositing them. I took this photo from behind the store, looking out towards Hauptstrasse. Do you see the sheep grazing on the slope?

By the way, freundlich stands for a long list of adjectives. See here.

Today, as all first-of-the-month, is theme day for the daily city photo blogger community. Please visit the portal to see examples of "my local corner shop" from all corners of the world.

That is a lovely images - all the clean, modern facilities, with the sheep and greenery all around. Switzerland has always seemed like such a magical place.
