I was impressed by the staging / choreography of this song in the semi's... I also spent some time wondering if those skorts have pockets. #Eurovision#Switzerland#TheCode
But then, after 15 minutes, just when we wanted to leave and go to bed, we saw some huge columns of white light appear. Much larger than I expected.
To be fair, the photos look much more awesome colorwise than what we saw. The colors were really faint, the light looked mostly just white. But the size of it was impressive nevertheless.
Crazy, I never would have thought that I'd see an aurora in Switzerland...
I've seen some UK news saying "There's a #SolarStorm coming! Maybe there will be #aurora!" Now I can 100% guarantee that Brits venturing out tonight in clear skies will see a glow to the North... but it almost certainly won't be aurora! It's mid May after all! So, for much of the country, the glow of twilight is visible all "night" (some parts of the UK actually have no astronomical night until August). So, unless it's a once in a lifetime display, twilight will make aurora-spotting impossible
Es hat gedauert bis zum Start, und ich bin noch nicht am ersten Ziel. Ich möchte noch bis zum Ende des Sees rechts im Bild und erst dann geht es wieder nach Hause. Aber zurück geht es dann unten durch am See entlang. Wer ganz genau hinsieht, sieht noch Wasserfälle in der linken Bildhälfte.
Das eigentliche Ziel ist aber auch, mein noch fast neues Fahrrad zu testen mit allem Zubehör. Bisher läuft alles gut. Nur der obere Endanschlag des Umwerfers ist noch etwas knapp.
#Switzerland and Nemo's "The code" is even more of a hot mess than Greece, but it has a wonderful red thread that is Nemo himself. Not sure anyone else could have sung this pop/rock opera/ballad/uptempo rap song. It surely is special...!
Lonesome spring skitour today. Our group departed in Winterthur at 04:00 and started our ascend at 6:30 in Juf (2125m) to Piz Surpare (3078m). Complete snow cover above 2300m.
It was slightly warmer than forcasted and the fog disappeared later. So the snow conditions were not perfect but okay. We met nobody else on that tour today. Whilst the ascend and on the summit great views to the high mountains of Grissons, Ticino and Italy.
Skiing down switched from nice to ugly to fun. All in all better than expected.
We finished the tour with some drinks at a local restaurant.
With the war in #Ukraine stretching into a third year and the rich getting accustomed to the idea that Russian citizens are no longer welcome in the West, the tried-and-true playbook for transferring fortunes has been effectively vanquished. Even #Cyprus and #Switzerland — some of the favorite spots of old — have introduced bans on providing management services to family trusts with Russian nationals as trustors or beneficiaries.
