This is part of an urban garden to Bern. The shopping carts are moved to the best location. They also had veggies planted in old plastic milk crates. An old bus was used as a greenhouse.
The Bern riding club on a Saturday morning. These horses are calm critters as our steam engine was making a racket, and they just trotted on by without a second glance

This is the famous wooden bridge in Lucerne. It's a good way for pedestrians to cross the lake.
Read the name of the store. It was a toy store...and basically says "God Bless You"
A pretty doorway in Bern
Look carefully at this statue in Bern. It's called thr "Kindlifresser" or "Child Eater of Bern." It's a goblin, or some say an ogre, or some say a giant, snacking on bad children. It dates from 1546 and is the oldest fountain in Bern. No one in modern times truly knows the true meaning of the statue or why it's there...look it up online for more information if you are interested. It's said that parents take their children to this statue to show them what happens to them if they are naughty.
That's the goblin or giant or ogre up close and personal. He's definitely a nasty piece of work.
