@Neuro: indeed, Kapellbrücke with flowers does look better. unfortunately the swiss have not yet created genetically modified geraniums that can withstand Swiss winters outside ...

True...but that was April – spring, not winter. I haven't been to Luzern in April, but in Zürich at that time of year there are flowerpots on the streets, and the Universität Basel botanical gardens are blooming!

Regardless, Syngenta should get going on those GMO geraniums right away!

until then and/or until further progression of gloabl warming into Switzerland will Lucerne's city gardeners start putting flowers onto the bridge in early May.
lots of additional Info to be found here: http://www.stadtluzern.ch/dl.php/de/4b069dc2dfab4/kapellbruecke_blumen_010507.pdf
can't find a more recent document on the quick.

Thanks much for the info!

Here are some Basel blooms in a shot my older daughter took near Petersplatz in mid-April, with her PowerShot S100.

Interesting! Not from me though. See this Flickr account for the first time.

Interesting, indeed! I really enjoy my visits to Switzerland. In that photoset, I did notice how plain the Kapellbrüke looks without the flower boxes.

Me, taken in June, 2015 (from a couple of meters closer to the bridge along the bank of the Reuss):

I was there over the Easter holiday week in about 1998. The town/city of Lucerne is vastly different in general appearance, mood, noise, ambience other times of the year than during that period of quiet. We as a group of tourists were cautioned by the police to respect the quiet, when literally 100 feet or less away, a party blaring disco music from a 2nd or 3rd story window could easily be heard.
