2018 week 40: A beautiful morning in Villigen


I lost track of time and missed four weeks of posts. The weather is changing now and we've had some lovely mornings.

2018 week 36: Fantoche


This year I finally made it to a couple of screenings during Fantoche! Both were a collections of shorts, one was a session of the international competition and the other a session of the Swiss competition. There were some gems in there, e.g. Enough by Anna Mantzaris.

After many hot, dry weeks, Fall has made an appearance. Cooler temperatures, and stormy weather.

2018 week 34: A view from the hill



I had a few days off, so among many other things, I walked up the Villigen hill after a long, long time. Here's one of the photos I took.

2018 week 31: Flumserberg



The first of August is the Swiss national day. I didn't take any photos this year, and because of the general drought conditions, I didn't find myself in a celebratory mood anyway. 

We did go for a hike in Flumserberg this week and this is one of the photos I took there. The backdrop is the Churfirsten.

2018 week 30: Resting sheep, peek-a-boo



These guys graze all day and night and I caught them as they were taking a little break.

We are experiencing a prolonged dry spell this summer -- the infrequent rain has been too short in duration and too little in quantity. I just read that many farmer are sending their cows to slaughter early because there's not enough grass to graze on.

2018 week 29: Grazing cows


A very faded Swiss flag, and some cows on the pasture. If I'm not mistaken, these are the Wagyu cows that Chlopfi's farm raises.
