My impressions of 36 hours in Zürich, with an unexpected start, clean colourful architecture, and a festival to make the place seem lively. Then the highlight of the trip, a train journey through the Alps, with some amazing scenery.

It has been difficult — not because I’ve taken so many good… Continue reading My favourite photos from 2009
