Picture This #218 ~ Walls, Fences Or Gates


The photo from Nico impressed me when I saw it last week. A great header for PT.

Welcome home again Mitch from your travels and hope you have now settled in and have unpacked the camera and are ready to go.



Here are the entries of the Swiss panel for this week.

Castle Waldegg, Feldbrunnen, just around the corner from where I live. This was the Summer residence of the French Ambassador to Switzerland around the 18th century. Belonged to the family Von Sury until a few years ago. Von Sury was a retired member of the Swiss Guard to the Pope in Rome. Now belongs to the Kanton.

This villa belongs to one of my neighbours. The land used to be a meadow for the local cow population. He bought the land and had a villa built. A local business man, but he has a lovely wife and three wonderful children. They have a playground in the garden equivalent to a children's park. Why not? He keeps our basic tax rate nice and low.

The old town walls of Solothurn, known as the Schanz. Our open air operas are performed at the top during summer, otherwise a nice place to take a walk and sit down. At the moment the moat surface is being used for part of our Autumn Fair.
