The bridges of Glatt county
Motorway bridges, railways and wood covered bridges of Glatt county. I am no Robert, there was no Francesca, though.
Via Mala
In 1967 the road tunnel of San Bernardino allowed all-year round traffic between North and South of the Swiss Alps. Earlier, the Via Mala (in Latin, meaning bad path) was the only cross-way available in the area to carriages, horses and later cars. Opened by the ancient Romans, upgraded with two bridges in 1738, nowadays Via Mala is a spectacular pit stop while driving between Canton Grisons and Ticino.
South of the town of Thusis, the Via Mala gorge slightly opens.

Autobahn bridges on the Limmat river: conceptual photography vs romanticism
After my experiences at Photobastei, I was kindly invited to join a group of landscape photographers. We recently met and … how difficult is learning new things! New photography points of views, concept vs subject, series vs single. So, on a 40 km-long bike-tour between Zurich and Baden, along the Limmat river, here is the landscape photography concept I could develop. Waiting for what the other photographers will comment, I publish them online.. for your fun or interest.

The series is based on straight geometrical lines cutting the panorama. From a beneath point of view. In black and white to avoid colours distracting from the geometrical games. Overexposure to stress the bridge geometry.
