In Zürich

 Today

Another Advent day in the city. Actually it turned out to be two cities - St. Gallen in the evening in its Christmas glow. But here is Zürich in the day time, in Christmas finery. 

A Glühwein stand along the river

Fountains get decorated, too 

Cozy places to sit and sip and see and be seen

More wool blankets await

Sheepskins 

The Christmas market in Bellevue by the lake - on the Sechselaütenplatz

A collection of large wildlife shapes were tucked about

Lots of seating invited lingering. This was just before midday, so it was not busy, but by evening it would be elbow to elbow. 

This is not offering a disease. It is a tasty potato dish from the deep valleys of southern Switzerland.

A warm fire - appreciated by many today

The bridge between Bellevue and Bürkliplatz, with the church towers: Fraumünster, St. Peter’s, and Grossmünster

Lake Zürich

Next, a look at St. Gallen in the evening.
