After such cold, winter dusk of Switzerland …
… let’s hope for a warmer dawn in spring …
Best light of the day: how to plan your photography hike on the snow.
Set the alarm clock at 4am to catch the sunrise.
At 4am turn the alarm off and fall back asleep.
Miss the sunrise and enjoy the blue light after the sunset!
Pictures shot in Braunwald on a lazy Sunday. Nikon D800 plus 16-35 mm f/4
Artborghi nominated for the SUPER SWEET BLOGGING AWARD !
Some muffins ago Artborghi was nominated for the Super Sweet Blogging Award! Thank you The Grateful Golfer for the nomination: you’re super sweet! I sieved out what the Super Sweet Blogging Award is about, and found dozens of mums writing about cakes and kids. So, I am no mama, I do not bake cakes… but I can put imagination in motion, as you said. Good I can do it with pictures, because I am so bad at baking!
Rules for this award include:
– Thank the super sweet blogger who made the nomination: grazie ancora, Grateful Golfer!

9. violiantonio
10. thespectrumcc

I doubt all of these bloggers regularly bake cakes, but still they are as pleasant as a fresh gipfeli with cappuccino for breakfast!
And now to answer five questions:
Cookie or cake? Cake, try a Aargauer Rüeblitorte if you pass by in Switzerland
Chocolate or Vanilla? Chocolate, either Belgian or Swiss.
What is your favorite sweet treat? Condensed milk (!)
When do you crave sweet things the most? Oddly by night
If you had a sweet nickname, what would it be? Milchbrötchen …
And I swear, no more pink in posts for some time 😀
Balik, kestane or süt misir of Istanbul: the food choice is yours
After a freezing cold cruise, nothing is better than balik (fish) and ekmek (bread) at Eminönü, Istanbul harbor.
Mix sour cabbage and peperoni together with the fried fish and the dinner is complete.
Or cross the Galata bridge and buy fresh fish (watch how red the gills are) at the market …
Grilled meat on the road is a delicious alternative.
For dessert, a bag of kastane (chestnuts)
and if space still available, top it up with süt misir (sweet corn) !
All pictures shot hand-held in the darkness with the amazing Nikon 50 mm f/1.4 mounted on my Nikon D800. Click to magnify.
… and finally there, the lights of Istanbul !
Cruising under the bridge on the Bosphorus …
… through the border between Asia and Europe …
… here is finally the harbour of Byzantium!
Just in time for dinner ! What might we taste there?
All pictures but last shot while cruising (!) by night (!!) with Nikon D800 + Nikon 16-35 mm f/4 … click each picture to magnify
