Die Schweiz

Switzerland - my second home. Spending my summers in the Rheintal as a child made me aware of the culture - moving here made me feel it. Switzerland cuts a fine balance between urban and rural, efficiency and calmness and beauty and functionality.

A cow standing on a grassy mountainside with a misty mountain landscape in the background.

City scene with train cars parked under an overpass, multiple pedestrians crossing at the intersection, modern glass buildings, traffic lights, and overhead tram wiring.

Ski lifts on a snowy mountain with ski tracks, a bright blue sky, and some ski resort buildings in the distance.

Low-angle view of tall modern skyscrapers with glass facades and a unique white streetlamp against a clear blue sky, with trees at the bottom of the scene.

A calm river reflecting the evening sky with a crescent moon, surrounded by green fields, with mountains in the background and a few industrial structures, including power lines and a silo.
