after a busy evening on friday i went to the verzasca valley with the divecenter . i’m still overwhelmed with the beauty of the river from the inside. it felt like diving in a bottle of grappa . i’m gonna upload some of the images some other evening, now i need to catch up with some sleep…

panorama-picture. it shows the arena just before the start of the orson -concert.

it still needs some work, but is not too bad for the moment.

this weekend ninas brother got married to karin . they planned a big party in their garden, but unfortunately the weather was a bit more like november than august. so they had to last-minute-reschedule the whole wedding to a restaurant. in the end everything turned out really great, and the party ended quite early in the morning. a wedding to remember; congratulations karin and andi!

i didn’t take that many pictures, but if you want to look at them, you can do so here :

yesterday i went down the aare from uttigen to bern . but not like everyone else, equipped with a rubber boat, but with a rubber skin :-)

urs and me snorkeled down the river in about 3 hours.

it was really fun, mostly because everybody else couldn’t believe what we did.

the water was rather cloudy and not very warm (although it was bearable with my 7mm rubber skin). in the image below you can see urs relaxing and almost falling asleep. if you want to see the other pictures of the series, then you can see them in this set on flickr .

we ’ve been diving in elba for the past few days.

as always, it was really impressive under water and the days with all the people were a blast.

the image below shows a small plane-wreck we’ve seen under water. it’s a panorama stitched from 6 pictures. all the other pictures i shot will be online soon, i’ll tell you when they are.

‘cause ninas knee is still hurting like a bitch , we didn’t go to the seilpark today, instead watched the latest episode of lost and went to have a coffe on the gurten .

i shot the image below between some shots for a panorama from the look-out tower. nina looks a bit held tight, but nonetheless i like the picture. as soon as i finish the panoramas i’ll post them too.

i really liked it on friday night in biel .

i’m not gonna tell you who won in the end, ‘cause if you haven’t read it elsewhere , you’re not interested anyways [1]. there were some surprises, but hey, everyone is a winner (be it only in the morales departement )!

i really liked the event, mostly also because i met some faces behind the bytes i read on an almost daily basis. the whole networking aspect was quite a big motivation to got to biel. a pity that a lot of bloggers left the party in the pooc quite fast to disperse into all the regions of switzerland. thanks to bruni [2] that let me ride home with him.

this weekend the 21st berner renntage have been carried out at the klosterlistutz .

because i saved two days from my civil service at the adventure playground i was part of the staff this weekend. after hauling around 300 bales of straw around 60 soap box cars raced down the rather steep hill. the car below was one of the nicest, even though it doesn’t really fit into the selfmade category. the kids got it from an old rollercoaster and rebuilt it as a race-car.
