Snow in the Zoo
Got up early and was at the Zoo 9am sharp on this Sunday morning. It was quiet, maybe a dozen photographers were there, the first families appeared 1.5 hours later, when I was on the way to the exit again. Waited for 40min at the Snowleopard area to only see a bird landing. No Leopards,…

Foxy Zurich
This Saturday morning, my wife is looking out the window, across the street, to the field. We saw a white weasel there a few days ago, so we now keep a bit closer watch on it. She says: “is that a fox over there?”. We get the binoculars, and yes, it is. We keep observing…

We needed to get out of the house, so we took the bus to downtown Zurich and walked around for 2 hours. It is 2 days before Christmas, and the shops are decorated as ususal. The only thing different is that all the restaurants are closed (starting today we have harder lockdown rules again). It…

Taking the Z 7 II to the Zoo
Today was the last day the Zoo in Zurich is open for at least a month. New pandemic restrictions. As I already have vacation, I thought I take this final day and go there. Sadly, I was not the only one. The Zoo was rather full, and working with a tripod was pretty much out…
