Stand off

One of the public chess sets in Bern. The cigarette stubs serve as an indication of scale.

Oase

The boots from yesterday are installed in front of Oase (German for oasis), the main PSI cafeteria. This photo shows one of the rear corners of the building, with outside seating and a chess set.

The post office as seen from the hill

On Sunday I went up to Besserstein, the hill you've seen many times on this blog (click on the Besserstein label below to see some of the other posts), to take some photos. There's not a lot that's new here: the post office, the bus station and the kartoffel.ch sign were all visible in the post from 20070420. What are new are the chess board and the bench (in the lower right hand corner, look up from "kart"). Some of you might recall my "men at work" theme day post where I showed you this area and told you that I didn't know what they were working on. Well, this was part of it. There's also a new house further to the right.

Waiting

The chess set that I mentioned yesterday, all lined up ready for a game.
