253: A trip to the zoo

I found myself on the tram this morning, climbing a long ascent (glad I wasn't on the bike today) to Zurich zoo. What a wonderful day out, I felt like a kid again passing from enclosure to enclosure, dying to find out what I would discover next. They have a wonderful array of creatures, one favourite of mine being this little guy. I'm kind of fascinated with seahorses and was thrilled to check this one out up close and even more thrilled when the piccies turned out. Photographing through glass and underwater can be challenging!

252: Old world charm

Zurich's streets are lined with amazing buildings like these ones, it was the great colours here caught my eye. It's been wonderful exploring this beautiful city by foot and by bicycle and as you can see the weather is perfect for it! I love the shutters found on almost everyone's windows, a final touch, attention to detail! Zurich city has bucket lots of old world charm.
