Downtown
Zurich West side, the colorful downtown of Switzerland, by night:
The Prime tower in the background and Technopark buildings in front
The Renaissance building
The old town with its bell towers (Grossmünster, St. Peter, Fraumünster) behind the new town
West side and the train viaduct
The city burner with Zurich lake in the background.

1.-Mai-Fest in Zürich 2014: red flags in Zurich fighting for better working conditions and minimal salaries
The 1st of May in Zurich is a wonderful opportunity to shoot a photo reportage. Let’s join the demonstration from its arrival in the old downtown. Police guides the demonstration and protect sensitive targets. Demonstrators flow through the city and finally meet at the Opera square.
The calm before the storm
Here they come through the bridge!
At the attack of fortress Europe!
Better jobs, minimal salaries for everybody!
Power to the Red Falcons (left wing kids of Zurich) too!
Cut the plebs out of the picture, dear.
AGAINST, now and forever!
Syndicalist on the run…
A Communist is made …
… but also born.
4000.- Swiss Francs per months: that’s a minimal salary!
The Red Flags conquered Zurich!
And so ended the International workers’ day in Zurich, pictures shot between Bella Ciao and the International Socialist with Nikon D800 plus 70-200 VRII – click to enlarge each picture
