A reunion in the city, a walk in the countryside and Summer of Colour

Last Sunday, I met up with some old friends here in Zürich. 14 years ago, we all studied together in Stockholm, and since we all live in different parts of Switzerland and Germany, we rarely see each other much. But when we do, it's all the more fun. We did a lot of walking that day, and lots of chatting too.

This past weekend, summer has arrived in these parts, it seems. The temperatures are rising, and it's already getting a bit too hot for me. So I'm even more grateful to have a forest not too far away to go for a walk in its cooling shade. I LOVE forests.

And the cows in the fields always make me happy, especially these here, that still have their proper horns.

I took the Image Pro and the SX-70 on my walk, and I find it fascinating, how differently the images turn out. Each camera has it's own character and personality, making the photos unique to that particular camera.

And I finally got to try out the double exposure function on the Image Pro. I'll definitely have to explore that option more.

This week now is the first week of Summer of Colour, a six week blog party with weekly colour prompts, hosted by Kristin from Twinkle, Twinkle. I did it two years ago, and enjoyed it immensly. Last year, I didn't finish it, but I hope to do so and play along each week. It isn't a painting challenge, you can use whatever medium and technique you like.
