Picture This 188 ~ Your Neighbourhood

I live in North Switzerland at the foot of the Jura Mountains in a very small village, Feldbrunnen,  where the cows and the birds say good night to each other.

Let's start on the main road, our connection to civilisation. On the left you can see the seat where I sit when waiting for the local train to Solothurn. Naturally when it is covered in snow, I have to stand.

I live on an estate, with various appartment blocks. Most are bought, but some are rented. We bought ours about 12 years ago. Very much emphasis is made on keeping everything natural and wild flowers are planted between the various houses. My big fat cat Nera can be seen on this one, taking a walk. She appreciates nature very much, especially the small animal life.

This shows how near we are to the River Aar. Our estate can be seen up on the rise on the left. We can walk into the town of Solothurn along the footpath.
