"A deux heures du matin" de Falk Richter, pièce de théâtre magnifiquement jouée par de jeunes acteurs talentueux sortant des Teintureries, École de Théâtre de Lausanne. Amazing theater play in Geneva Grutli Theater with young and promising talents.
It was tricky to take pics, since it is forbidden, but was worth the try. This scene was played while some actors were behind the scene producing these great shadows I couln't resist

High speed framing
The challenge was here to frame a picture on a train at 200 km/hour. In only one shot there are two overlapping images. The view on one side, geometric and rigid, and the reflection of the other side, a much softer Swiss landscape. Taken on a train from Bern to Geneva. Unfortunatelly, I have no idea what this intriguing building is.

Taking the floor,UPU, Bern, Switzerland
Today at the Universal Postal Union. This picture is a discarded one of a series of 5 for a UPU photo contest- Just knew today about it while interpreting for them, so spent all the breaks jumping up and down with my lumix first and then the Canon camera to get all done by today, since it was the last day you could send the pics. This one was taken from inside the interpreters' booth. A Delegate's speech.

The Beauty of the Curve
Discovering the universe of Renzo Piano in Bern, at the Paul Klee Museum (built in 2005). Detail.
The Italian Renzo Piano is an internationally renowned and distinguished architect. His work is marked by a predominant commitment which unifies the demands of technical, artistic, skilled, natural und social expectation. Since his design for the Centre Pompidou in Paris, Piano counts among the most international established architects. Known in Switzerland for the building of the Beyeler Fondation in Riehen near Basel, Piano was directly entrusted with the task to build the Paul Klee Museum by Maurice E. Müller.

Objet du désir
Strolling through the city at night with my fisheye lense, trying to capture some micro-universe in one pic. In the pic, Prada shop in the very posh Rhone Street in Geneva, appears so irresistible.

Still industrial life
Visiting this industrial site was quite an experience, specially since I managed to be totally on my own, just surrounded by this rough material, playing with shadows, puddles from yesterday's rains and the very strong light, unusual for October. Inspite of the brutal appearance of the metal blocks, the place was extremely quiet. I enjoyed composing my pictures, like a child playing with a gigantic Lego.

Minimalist
Visiting Xirpas Gallery on a Saturday I was more impressed by the lights and the space than the works themselves. Here the painting is just a counterbalance in the picture. Love the shapes of this unusual exhibition.

Urban jungle, Geneva
One wouldn't recognise immediately Geneva streets in this pic, but having done a bit of exploration I realize Geneva is full of urban art. I like discovering new sites, some more artistic than others, but none of them leaves you indiferent. Industrielle neighbourhood, Geneva

Street Art
In one of Geneva's industrial neighbourhoods there is a master work by Urban Artist Jazi. Today somebody had parked this cool Triumph in front of it. It almsot looked like an installation. I love the red color.
