Camera Roll +23: Living Tower (Lebensturm)

 Happy Thanksgiving

Or as the Swiss call it, "just another Thursday in November". 😁

(but they DO "celebrate" Black Friday!)

Today I've got another camera roll poem from a photo I took recently on walk in my neighborhood. It is especially timely as we are experiencing a housing crunch. According to the Zuger Zeitung newspaper, 

"The vacancy rate for apartments in the canton of Zug is one of the lowest in Switzerland, at just 0.42%."

I am very thankful for our apartment.

And I am thankful that Zug at least offers affordable housing options for its tiniest resident.🐞

    1. Thanks, Michelle! I find these towers so cool. In addition to real estate, retail is alive and well here, on Black Friday and every other day. Happy belated Thanksgiving! :)

    1. Thanks, Heidi! Maybe I missed my calling for writing real estate ads - ha! I just love that our city invests in these tiny critters...and the benefits they provide for everyone. Yes, if humans could only find their way... :)

  4. That's so neat! Did you build that habitat? I now want one in my backyard. What a fun holiday to celebrate with international friends. I hope that the gratitude and goodwill at your table spreads far and wide.

    1. Thanks, Linda! No, the city of Zug put these towers up in several neighborhood around town. I'm happy to have one close by. I look forward to spreading my gratitude (and waistband) with our local friends. :)

  7. Oh my! This is a perfect home for all manner of wildlife. Makes me want to have my husband build one for our yard on the bayou in south Louisiana. We do have our wood duck apartment which will be open for rent in February.

  9. This is so fun, Bridget! I love your sales pitch, "Don't wait . . . as winter is coming." I was ready to buy then I realized I wouldn't fit in.

  11. Wow, I guess that would be high density living. I love that photo! Fun poetry advertisement for this living space. This made me smile: "hogs (hedge variety only!)"
