Time for another look at what Switzerland can throw at us, both in terms of its landscapes and views of its residents.

By the same photographer is the burning of the snowman to mark the end of winter. We have to wait a bit longer in Zurich, this one was in Berneck last week.

Finally a nice symmetrical shot of Stadelhofen station in Zurich; designed by Calatrava, whose work you may have seen featured in St Gallen a while back. Photo courtesy Tambako
