One of the best graffiti works in town is actually created by the city services themselves:
Every time after some night guys made some efforts to mark the ground, one of the city guys came with a bucket colour and painted it over in an abstract way. After a while he changed the colour.
Kind of pollenlution.
Nice sidewalk sculpture.
Italianata for dwarfs.
Specimen Number 74:
Build a house with a flat roof - don't care about the rest, use a muted colour, what is fitting to anthracite (use a lot of anthracite), create any English word mark (don't care about any sense) - and the people are ready to believe that you sell cutting edge designed furniture.
Zollikon is that extraordinary rich, that also the thieves have to proof that they made the latin proficiency certificate before they are getting the allowance to start their business.
I'll say, at least it's something completely different.
From two diverse centuries of framework construction.
Probably nobody told them ever, that transparent is not exactly the same like invisible.
Sculptures are usually directed. This bull is heading against Zurich. Maybe, because the people from that town are not ready to share more taxes with the neighbour city, what is providing all the nice services to them (Opera, theatre, public transportation, business...)
Lightweight construction at its best.
It's a common agreement, that a view over the lake is one of the most desirable things to have in life.
Question: how many hours the day do you spend with watching out of the window?
Question 2: Is Kilchberg appearing that nice to you (see my former blog), that you wish to look on it your whole upcoming live?
Gold heap.
Wow.
Interesting and gross.
It's not that obvious on the first sight, but this is not an air conditioner producer, it's an insurance company.
Right here I had the first time the impression, that I look into the garden of really rich people.
They are that rich, that they could care themselves about the issues of the garden, many details have been chosen with big care.
They really should invent a special tax for charging the use of 'park' in real estate advertising.
English relations.
After that spot I have been chased by that song. (Actually, that was rather merciful from destiny that song would be much harder)
That's why we need landmarks.
Superior powers ordered me to make a brake.
After rain dust over the banlieue of Zollikerberg.
Pitiful blowball.
It's not agricultural, it's not natural, it's a golf court. It needs a special gift to design something with trees and grass that misfits so much in a surrounding which is build with the same elements.
One of the mystic miracles in life: mostly I'm on the wrong side of the barrier.
It's really good to be complicated.
"Fascinating"
The easiest way to get rid of garbage is to exhibit it (remind the bull above).
There is nothing wrong with taking the pavement directly to the house. Actually, in the most cases it's the best solution.
Wood is good.
Hangman surrounded by an uprising lynch mob.
There are many things that can't be qualified for sure. But as soon I see a boundary stone, I know I'm doing well right now.
Ok, fly agaric is the most popular shape what the woodcutters are leaving, to please the people. Followed by snails, dwarfs and pines.
I'll tell it, as soon one is really surprising me.
Actually, the 'Pfadiweg' at the Werenbach is the most exciting path I made during the 'excentric Zurich' walks so far.
The first time I managed to shoot a heron.
At the Enzenbühl cemetry. Apart of the corpses it is the prospering live, probably corpses are a good fertiliser.
A remarkable tree, it has the capacity to express infinite sadness.
In the realm of death.
One of the best constant exhibitions in Zurich are the selection of exemplary tombstones.
This one here is rather small, but it has a own fragrance, it looks like that the curator is deeply in heavy metal.
After I walked further in the adjoining mist creek (Nebelbach) - what name might fit better in this environment?
The masterpiece of a complete unknown follower of Carl Andre.
Kind of Swiss German.
As soon the settlement cores of two villages have been grown together it would make sense to merge them also politically.
Groaner of the day.
As I arrived here, I thought that I have to make a travel advice for a hot day:
- Take Bus Nr. 34 (Leaving from Klusplatz) to Kienanstenwies.
- Walk down to "Trichtenhausen Mühle", there are two Restaurants, a Korean Japanese one and a local one.
- Following the street up again, until the end of the sawmill, there is the 'Pfadiweg' leading into the creek.
- Follow and enjoy for about 1400 meters.
- Cross the third bridge over the beck, climb up until the Rehalp cemetery.
- Enter the cemetery and cross this one with the center axis.
- Cross the Forchstrasse and enter the Enzenbühl cemetery, follow the centre axis as well, until the end.
- Follow the Rebwiesstrasse for some meters until the next beck.
- After that just stroll down the hill, more or less heading north.
- At the railway station Tiefenbrunnen it's easy to cross the railways and the street with a subway.
- Follow the shore of the lake in direction of the city.
- Enter the beach bath Tiefenbrunnen.
Terra cognita.
Sitting there, enjoying the view my travel watch jumped into my eyes.
At this time when I bought it, I thought it's just a cheap digital watch like every else. What's not true.
Even here are differences. Some have the power to tell something about their carrier, like a certain Casio.
I am thinking now, if I should change that, with the hope that it will provide me with a venturesome aura.
Some people think that this is an interactive sculpture, so they push the buttons.
The city's depollenlution clerk at work.
