Haha, so I managed to go just one day without posting about Densha de Go - but how can I stay silent when THIS showed up?!

It's gorgeous and I've set it in it's proper spot!

☀️⚡️ Everyone in Switzerland agrees we need more solar. But often, there's disagreement about where to put the panels without impacting the landscapes too much.
🛤️ Looking back, this one is a no-brainer, why not lay them down between train rails: there's already a strong connection to the grid, and it's infrastructure that's already ‘built’.
🇨🇭 First segment of the tracks got inaugurated today in canton Neuchâtel.
