Switzerland...chill out!!

®Felipe Russo - Katerine and Palden chat in the kitchen doing breakfast.

I went to Switzerland for 5 days. Me and Palden, a good friend from Santa Cruz, went to Fribourg visit his girlfreind Katerine. Fribourg is a beautiful student city sitting in a river valley sorrounded by woods. At these time of the year the colors are amazing, all the vegetation turns red, yellow, white...its stunning...for me was really something different!! And the light there is incredible..

I can say the 5 days i spent there where very much chill...Lots of street photography with Palden. And Katerine was an amazing host that introduced me to lots of the Swiss goodies ( the last nigth we had these underfull raclet with Californian white wine). Just to start, we arrived in the middle of a hallowen party at Katerines house...i still remember the taste of that Abysint Jelly. It was great fun!!

We did some travelling also...

A day in Geneva where we visited a very nice space for modern art MAMCO.

And the day after we went to Zurich... an amazing city! But there we just walked around taking pictures and stopping for beer, playing cards and buying a swiss nife...so im sorry but no links and recomendations... Latter we met Raphael, Bjorn and Julia for a drink... Lovely Julia gave us a nice place to sleep....
Raphael and Bjorn received us for breakfast the next day in the new Gallery space they just opened in Winterthur ( a small city 30 min away from Zurich) Its a very nice and clean gallery with quite a lot of possibility's and freedom.....I will check there address and put a link here soon.
Winterthur is a special city for photography...theres the Winterthur Fotomuseum ...it has three gallery rooms and a good book store. The space concentrades specialy in Photography history. If you have the chance check it out.

I had great time, and could really relax...it was a very contemplative 5 days.... So thanks Katerine, Palden, Julia, Raphael and Bjorn!!
