Festive Rain

On Thursday evening the Christmas lights were switched on in Zurich. Apparently ‘thousands’ gathered to witness the spectacle, visit the various Christmas markets and of course sample the first mugs of mulled wine. I’ll probably wait a while before plunging into the spirit of Christmas, but I was delighted to take advantage of Friday evening’s wet weather on the way home. Lights reflecting in wet roads never cease to fascinate me!
