rockefeller center Posted July 23, 2004 Report Posted July 23, 2004 Last year, on my way home after a Sam Rivers concert. Quote
king ubu Posted July 23, 2004 Report Posted July 23, 2004 (edited) A view from the Quaibrücke, the bridge right at the lakeshore, though this view goes to the other side. Left the old town, left (in front) the "Bauschänzli" (mikeweil: that was the place your bass player had in mind, the "Biergarten" - the swimming baths is right behind it). The river comes out of the lake, it's called the "Limmat". Edited July 23, 2004 by king ubu Quote
king ubu Posted July 23, 2004 Report Posted July 23, 2004 (edited) The Grossmünster - one of the largest churches of Zurich - part of the reformation took place in its whereabouts (Zwingli was a preacher here, I think). Edited July 23, 2004 by king ubu Quote
king ubu Posted July 23, 2004 Report Posted July 23, 2004 (edited) You can see the Uetliberg in the background - every tourist goes there, I haven't made it up there so far (though there's some sort of a train, no need to walk up there for me, and no urge to do so, either...)

king ubu Posted July 23, 2004 Report Posted July 23, 2004 (edited) A view of the old town of Zurich, along the river "Limmat". The building right behind the tower of the church is the University of Zurich, right left of it is the Technical University (ETH), built by Gottfried Semper. Edited July 23, 2004 by king ubu Quote
king ubu Posted July 23, 2004 Report Posted July 23, 2004 (edited) Gotta have some swiss banking institutes, of course... head offices of UBS and CS. The Paradeplatz - as the saying goes, you'd only have to dig through some meters of probably beton, and then you'd find tons of gold... some from Nazis, some from Jews, some from Swiss, some from other famous clients...

king ubu Posted July 23, 2004 Report Posted July 23, 2004 (edited) all resized now - should be ok (?) Zurich Mainstation, and the corny, pseudo-old "Landesmuseum", sort of an official museum displaying historical stuff, mostly too stupid to deal with, but not always. An ugly building, only 100 years old. The hall of the station, though is great. Maybe I can find an photo to show how it looks inside. Edited July 23, 2004 by king ubu Quote
couw Posted July 23, 2004 Report Posted July 23, 2004 yo ubu, those pics are several MB each! bit much of the good thing if you ask me. Quote
king ubu Posted July 23, 2004 Report Posted July 23, 2004 yo ubu, those pics are several MB each! bit much of the good thing if you ask me. But they're nice, no? I'll do good and replace them with smaller ones... but got to have dinner now, first. Quote
Hardbopjazz Posted July 23, 2004 Author Report Posted July 23, 2004 What's the name of the building on the first photo? I lived in NY all my life, and I have to tell you, I don't know its name. It is by JR music world and City Hall. Quote
Claude Posted July 23, 2004 Report Posted July 23, 2004 See a panorama view of Luxembourg. Select the second view ("vue de la forteresse"). It's a java page, takes a while to load. You will be able to navigate in a view similar to this: Here's our parliament. Every political party has it's own window more pictures Quote

Claude Posted July 23, 2004 Report Posted July 23, 2004 The "Red Bridge" linking the old city of Luxembourg to the Kirchberg plateau, where EU institutions like the Court of Justice are located Quote
John B Posted July 23, 2004 Report Posted July 23, 2004 Here is a view from one of the tallest mountains in the state, looking south towards my town off in the distance. Quote
