As the first snow falls

It seems summer is slowly but surely coming to an end, to great sadness... i'm not sure i'm ready for cold, dark and grey! The first snowfall of the season has already fallen on the Alps and yes, it is beautiful but it signals the end of the long summer days, the end of winding down the day sitting along the river with a beer and the end of wearing slops :(

Although not a particularly hot summer except for about 3 weeks where the temps were getting into the 30s... i think it's the long days of blue sky and sunshine that i love more than the heat.

From paddling and swimming in the lake, jumping off the bridge into the river fully clothed, picking raspberries, riding bikes along the lake, hiking in the Swiss country side or up to the highest point in Zürich (Ueitliberg) to joining in the festivities of Zürifest and Streetparade, summer has been eventful and i look forward to next summer! :)

Please come back quick :P
