vista dal quartiere Schipfe lungo il Limmat (là in fondo i campanili della Grossmuenster). Questo quartiere, che risulta alle spalle della foto, era già importante nel Medio Evo, approdo per le imbarcazioni commerciali, era anche un centro della industria della seta e per la costruzione delle barche. Ora è un posto tranquillo e molto gradevole, con negozi di artigiani, boutique e squarci pittoreschi. In PiP la visione a 180 gradi sulla sinistra.

vista dal quartiere Schipfe lungo il Limmat The Limmat is a river in Switzerland. The river commences at the outfall of Lake Zurich, in the centre of the city of Zurich. From Zurich it flows in a north-westerly direction, after 35 km reaching the river Aare. Historically, the Limmat was an important navigation route. In the twelfth and thirteenth centuries, voyages from Zurich to Koblenz are recorded. In 1447, the Emperor Frederick III granted the privilege of free navigation on the Limmat and on the Rhine to Zurich. Because of the current, navigation was typically downstream only, with the barges being sold on arrival. Today, the Limmat is navigable for much of its length by small craft only, with many of the hydroelectric power plants incorporating boat lifts. The traditional boat type used on the river is the weidling, a flat-bottomed vessel that is usually 10 metres (33 ft) long. The uppermost stretch of the river through the centre of Zurich is navigable by rather larger vessels, albeit limited by low bridges.

The Fraumünster Church in Zurich is built on the remains of a former abbey for aristocratical women which was founded in 853 by Louis the German for his daughter Hildegard. The abbey was dissolved on 30 November 1524 in the course of the reformation and the monastery buildings were destroyed in 1898. Today, the church belongs to the Swiss Reformed Church and is one of the three main churches of Zürich, the other's being the Grossmünster and St. Peter's church. Very beautiful the new stained glass windows in the choir by Marc Chagall. (it's forbidden to take photos in the church, they sell their images so I put here a post card as an example) Do not use any of my images on websites, blogs or other media without my explicit written permission.

Bellissimo parco dall'impronta romantica, dedicato al pittore barocco catalano Francesc Ribalta. Costruito nel XIX secolo quando la città iniziava a industrializzarsi, sorse dove anticamente era ubicato un cimitero ed era vicino alla (vecchia ora, nuova allora) stazione ferroviaria. Nel 1876 accanto ad esso sorse il parco dell'Obelisco, sinceramente non so dove finisce l'uno e inizia l'altro.

this beautiful structure is in the romantic park Ribalta, the oldest public park in the city; it preserves an extensive variety of plant species. Located in front of the railway station, the park is representative of 19th-century tastes. A number of walkways intersect each other, forming little squares where the Music Pavilion, the Pérgola, the pond and an old locomotive called the Panderola are located, making the park a delightful place for people of all ages.

Il Marasmius oreades (Bolton) Fr., è un fungo molto conosciuto e apprezzato per la sua bontà, in particolare nell'Italia settentrionale dove viene comunemente appellato "Gambesecche". Tuttavia se ne sconsiglia vivamente la raccolta ai non esperti in quanto facilmente confondibile con specie pericolose di piccola dimensione, in particolare con piccole Lepiota mortali. Un buon metodo per riconoscerlo è quello di manipolarne il gambo che è piuttosto consistente e pieno. Grazie a Dan per l'ID !!!!
