Switzerland - Part 3 - Zurich


Zurich; the land of exotic sports cars, big ass clocks and cool cobblestone back-streets.

As you would probably guess, being the banking capital of the world, there is some serious moolah floating around this city. But despite all that, Zurich is one laid back locale, and an urban explorers dream come true.

The next few shots are from in and around the streets of Zurich.

Enjoy.

Switzerland Part 2 - The Alps

The Swiss Alps (insert big sigh here).

One word. Epic. Just Epic.

Being the world's most famous mountain range does not dim the sheer beauty of this place or the people. Young and old, tourists and locals alike, flock to these supreme slopes with the intention of  carving them up! And thats exactly what the majority of them do.

I did a bit of carving (and some stacking) in the Mannlichen region of the alps a week ago. It really is such a sublime part of the world. The sheer size of these mountains is astonishing, especially when you compare them to our ant hill sized slopes back home in Oz.

In between the thrills and spills I managed to get a couple of shots. 

I also have a new respect for photographers that work at the snow. Shooting in such bright white conditions is tough!

Enjoy.

Switzerland - Part 1 - Geneva

This is part one of a three part instalment of our travels through Switzerland last week. Switzerland had WAY too many cool things to contain in just one post, so I'll break it up into bite-sized bits of AWESOME!

The first part of the Swiss trilogy is the very stunning city by the sea, Geneva.

Enjoy.
