THE END ... (2011)

Before

 After

A sad picture ;(    After a long field season and lots of water samples. The equipment is cleaned and well, warm in the basement. The snow cover in the Alptal is growing steadily and from now on its: office time. Sitting with a nice cup of coffee and dreaming of the past field seasons… All those water samples, a car crash, broken loggers, cross country running for samples, internship students, not working equipment, little rain, long dry spells, cows, hunters, terrifying wolfs, curious people, angry people, salamander man... and so on.

All those other hard working helper without I would still struggle and be far from the current:
