Last light on Grossmünster and St. Peter Church earlier today in Zürich.  More here (http://www.parrikar.com/blog/2014/05/18/evening-in-zurich/).

I like the soft light. The only place I know of Zurich is the airport...

Two nice shots. They seem to have preserved the old town. I haven't been the for at least 20 years (except for the Kloten airport).

Both are beautiful, as usual, Rajan. Two things... (1) There is a spot in the ky to the right of St. Peter's Church; (2) the bright skies may be "as shot", but I find them just slightly bright by ⅓ or ½ stop. Bringing their tonal value down slightly would also add just a bit more of that beautiful colour to them. Just a thought.

Thank you, Paulo, Francois, Terry.  I love Zurich - rich in arts and scientific pedigree (Einstein and Pauli walked here) and very Swiss in character.

Terry, I am on a poorly calibrated MacBook Pro.  These images will be reworked when I get back home.

Revisited the same locales a few days later.  More here (http://www.parrikar.com/blog/2014/05/29/more-evenings-in-zurich/).

You are right, patience pays! Beautiful sky, well worth the additional work.
