Swiss Aesthetics, Part 2

I love cranes! When I was a small kid, I used to love looking at cranes. What I loved most was when they built up a crane or when they broke it down. It just looks so solid and unmovable when it stands that I found it hard to believe that it could be taken apart into smaller pieces. Imagine my joy when they set up this crane on my street! I documented the process from my balcony and this photo is what I came up with.

Zurich is a city with many, many cranes. Most people don't like them though, most people say that Zurich is 'one big construction site', which to some extent is true. There are times when I don't like them either, but usually I do.

For me a crane stands for:

- a small part in a bigger picture

- industrial development

- mechanical perfection

- something unstoppable

- something powerful

I hate Winter. The cold, dismal, depressing weather, the freezing wind blowing in your face and running down your back - it's just not my thing. But today was different. I was outside when it started to snow and suddenly everything looked beautiful. Somehow the snow blocked all other sounds and all what was left, was a quiet peacefulness, no noise penetrated the blanket of white that enveloped the city.

From this tranquil, the photo above resulted. I was observing the way the streetlights illuminated the falling snow, when suddenly a man and a woman holding hands walked into the scene.
