Behind Christmas lights and pine trees …
… the ETH terrace got dressed for winter.
Have a slide at dusk,
between ice and sky!
And when the night comes down…
… après–skate at the Festhütte!

After 52,842 shots and less than 3 years, artborghi’s much beloved Nikon D800 gave its last click.
Condensation/water infiltration in the camera body caused irrecoverable oxidation, as stated by Nikon repair service. Such sudden death, despite its weather-resistant life above the sea level, its companion the rain-proof backpack and the loving care of its owner.
In its short life, artborghi’s Nikon D800 was inspirational to 250 blog posts on artborghi.com, photo calendars, news articles, photo books (in preparation), a photo exhibition , scientific talks, weddings, portrait shootings and more.
It leaves behind 2.3 TB of .NEF and .JPG files, plus a plethora of unforgettable memories and happy moments.

With its 1,115 m, the Bachtel is the second highest peak of Canton Zürich. The impressive snowfalls of the last days made it a perfect location for snowshoeing. Enjoy the panorama!
The track starts at 580 m.s.l. in Oberdürten
More horses than men
