Golden days in Zurich

I was looking forward to this autumn, as this is my first in Zurich. Spring and summer had been awesome seasons and I couldn’t wait to see the city covered in golden leaves… Well, it didn’t disappoint me! October has been a very warm month, almost like summer, and very dry (until now!). I’ve seen the summer green colours changing slowly to a wonderful palette of yellow, orange and red colours in the city. With the last windy days, a carpet of orange leaves has covered the ground in many streets and parks. And there is a wonderful autumnal scent of roasted chesnuts from the stalls installed everywhere in the city centre…

Now the weather has changed and it’s colder and a bit more rainy and windy. Soon all these colours will disappear and the Christmas season will be here with all its lights and decorations and festive ambience. But I hope I can enjoy a few more moments of this gorgeous and romantic season in Zurich.

Here are a few shots I took these last two weeks while showing the city centre to some friends that visited us recently. I hope you like them!
