Grüetzi Galera!
On the latest instalment of our fantastic Tuesday Photo CHat we had the CHance to talk about our latest Photowalk, as we finally could get together to photograph in a small and safe group.

Don’t miss next week’s Photowalk
We will restart our monthly Photowalks and get together in June. We will meet at the Starbucks in the Sihlcity for a quick brew (cold or hot, your choice) between 18:30 and 19:00 when we will walk towards the skate park nearby. If you get late or lost, shoot me a message or call and I’ll send our position.
The theme for this photo walk is “TWO” and I invite you to post your ca. 5 favourite photos in our Facebook group.
Online Meeting will resume on Tuesday after the Photowalk
Do you have something to suggest for our discussions? Please shoot me a message and we will make that happen.
Thanks to all who participated, I always finish our CHats with new energy and ideas! See you all on our next meeting.
