Urban Garden.224

These are some of the lovely cottage gardens and semi-wild hillsides down which I walked and bushwhacked during my efforts to see all three of the proud castles of Bellinzona early last November, as we’ve described in a prior post or three :-).

Various shots from the lovely big park (with lake) that’s across the street from me here. There’s a sign with map in one of the photos below, where they majorly overhauled and upgraded some kids’ fun play areas (some of which I’ve shown you before) last spring. The cute sign-posts above and below predate that overhaul, but no doubt link to kids’ outings over the years. (The tent is a rare instance of someone clearly living rough here.)

Back to where we began this series, with one traditional window (below center) and more of Sigmar Polke’s lovely 2009 windows from Zurich’s Grossmünster.

Yes, the ship’s sauna had glorious windows out of which I gazed with great gusto while enjoying the warmth 🙂
