The story behind the image
In 2004 we traveled Switzerland for a week. We started in Zurich, made a stop in Berne to visit some friends, and concluded the trip in Luzern, a very old town located at the Vierwaldstätter See. With about 60,000 inhabitants it is one of the larger cities in Switzerland.
My image shows the view from the Kapellbrücke which was built around 1332 along the river Reuss and the Rathausquai. On this warm day, several cafés and restaurants had opened their served areas on the street for guests to enjoy tasty dishes and beautiful views at the same time.
Today, the scene is mostly unchanged. The Hotel Pickwick, the Hotel and Restaurant des Alpes and even the hairdresser at the next corner are still present. Where Schmid Riedmann & Partner used to be is a Starbucks today.
