Autumn in Zürich

[whereisirisnow]

So today, I went for a little walk in downtown Zürich. Apparently, when it is Autumn, the Swiss crave the following hearty snack: heisse marroni (grilled chestnuts) as there are little stands selling them on every busy street corner. I felt it would be wrong to not fully integrate myself in the Swiss way of living and begrudge myself this treat.

So, here I am with my first ever heisse marroni!

Note that they are sold in paper bags which are actually two paper bags fastened to each other: one for the fresh chestnuts and one for the leftover shells. Amazing!

A close-up of one of the chestnuts:

I'm craving for more now..

There was also something fun going on in the city:


And then, because the autumn is so, so beautiful in Zürich, I went for a little stroll in Irchel Park. I'll just show some pictures now of beautifully coloured trees :p









I really like the contrast here of the really light coloured tree in front of the dark conifer.


Here I really like the white bark of the birch tree among all the coloured trees :)

And that was that! I should do this more often!
