Lovely. So many of your photos put me in mind of what the writer/mathematician/architect Christopher Alexander calls "simplicity and inner calm" -- one of the properties of good design. Perhaps this is also a characteristic of Villigen in general.
mk: Thanks for the reference to Alexander. I didn't know about him and your comment made me look him up on Wikipedia. I'm looking forward to reading more about his work.
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

Terrific colour - and so solid. Reminds me of the colour of the skin of the IceMan.
Do the panels have any utilitarian purpose - say, shutters? Or are they purely decorative?
Pretty!

Julie: Purely decorative, AFAIK. Isn't it great?
