St.Gallen Weather: I should have stayed at home.


On a Winter Holiday one must expect cold weather but if I wanted to enjoy really miserable weather I could have stayed at home and just gone to town. I used to go to Switzerland regularly at the end of February and believe it or not sometimes I returned with hardly any pictures at all. Still it's better than coming back with a broken leg and modern easy-access low floor buses must be a godsend for unfortunate skiers and the elderly in Switzerland. Here in the early Nineties is a contrast between an elderly dull green painted Saurer Trolleybus complete with a trailer with tapered ends and a new NAW articulated bus in the latest livery. I'm glad I do take realistic atmospheric pictures like this but there's only one thing to do after this shot and that is try to get warm with a mug of Ovomaltine and think of smiling Swiss girls and sunshine on mountain-tops..
