The power of EM2008 …

… and the power of football in general. It is really really strong! If I were you I would check which new laws your government approved during the European Championship of football …

Brunnistöckli with Checco

Checco76 (.wordpress.com) came to visit us this wonderful sunny weekend in Switzerland. He got the best moment to experience with us the deadly and damn difficult “via ferrata” on the 2000 something meters of the Brunnistöckli! Two shaky Tibetan bridges were not enough to stop our heroes A really wonderful day. The pictures? Look on the right blog column a little bit down and click on the new “Brunnistöckli set” of FlickR pictures (or just click HERE for the direct link)

Wonderful Germany, wonderful Angela

Let’s hope for a wonderful Germany-Russia final game!

Nous t’avons tiré le cou deux fois, petit coq :)

June in Switzerland: Autumn comes

It is bloody rainy/cold today in north Switzerland. Heaters are off from 1 month and at home mushrooms pop up from the wood floor. The only way to solve the situation: wine drinking. Have a nice evening (today only 600 contacts… thanks EM2008)!

Ebenalp: another Paradise Switzerland

The Appenzeller region is always full of beautiful surprises. This time we went up by cable car to Ebenalp, then we went down to Seealpsee through the prehistoric Wildkirchli caves. Another wonderful and lucky day in Switzerland. Watch our picture on Flickr. Click HERE.

Neuchâtel and Bieler See shot with a EF 70-300 mm

N

Nice food, really nice food in Neuchâtel at Le Maison des Halles. Not only for food we went to the Neuchâtel lake region, but especially for a bike tour. We rent two light and comfortable mountain bikes at the station (28 CHF per day) and we had an 8 hours tour from Neuchâtel to the Sankt Peter insel, biking along the channel connecting the two lakes and having a quick stop in Le Landeron.

Better you watch our picture in Flickr (CLICK HERE to open this picture set page) to get an idea of what we did. Practically every picture has been taken with my EF 70-300mm, f/4-5.6 IS USM … enjoy the nice light and focus effects obtained with it.

The sadist West game against Chinese Olympics

I think enough is enough. When China was given the honor to organize the Olympic games of this year, the International Olympic Committee of course already knew that

- China and Tibet have bad relationships
- Some Chinese metropolis like Beijing are highly polluted
- Tibetans and Dalai Lama would have used this opportunity to show the world how China behaves with them

Everything I read about the upcoming Olympic Games is nowadays only about Tibet or pollution. This hypocrite behavior starts to be shameless.

Almost every land on this planet now feels democratic and ecologic when compared to China. How many Western factories migrated to China to pollute China and to enslave workers? Were Olympic Games forbidden in Berlin, Moscow or Atlanta?
