**Achtung Datumswechsel auf den 5.4.!** **Oster Edition / Easer Edition** \-\- Deutsch \-\-\- Für diesen Event der achtsamen Fotografie treffen wir uns bei der Roten Fabrik. Die Rote Fabrik ist ein ehemaliger Industriekomplex aus rotem Backstein direkt am See, mit grossen Fenstern, Schornstein, Innenhof und spannenden Sichtachsen zwischen den Gebäuden – ideal für urbane Architektur‑ und Detailshots. Graffitis, Poster, Patina und der Kontrast zwischen Wasser, Gleisen und Industriebauten bieten reichlich Motive. Wir schlendern in aller Ruhe durch das Areal und suchen dabei bewusst nach Details und kleinen Dingen, die uns im Alltag oft entgehen. \-\-\- English \-\-\- For this mindful photography event, we will meet at **Rote Fabrik**. Rote Fabrik is a former industrial complex made of red brick right by the lake, featuring large windows, a chimney, a courtyard, and interesting sightlines between the buildings — ideal for urban architecture and detail shots. Graffiti, posters, patina, and the contrast between water, railway tracks, and industrial buildings provide plenty of photographic subjects. We will slowly wander through the area and consciously look for details and small things that often escape our notice in everyday life. \-\-\- PS \-\-\- (D) Ein kleiner Hinweis: Schaut doch auch bei unserer Schwestergruppe «[Fotografie im Focus](https://www.meetup.com/fotografie-im-focus-zurich-und-ostschweiz/?eventOrigin=home_groups_you_organize)» vorbei.

Join us on the hike from Trogen to Appenzell! It's the second stage of the Alpine Panorama Trail that leads from Rorschach all across Switzerland to Geneva. For a precise description including pictures see https://schweizmobil.ch/en/hiking-in-switzerland/route-3/stage-2. The picture in the description shows Appenzell in winter 2021 (it's the only one I had from Appenzell). I don't expect any snow there at the moment. However, there might be some snow patches on the way. MEETING: Meeting point is in Zurich main station under the blue angel at 10 am. Be aware that I will join you in Winterthur. I'll meet you in the last coach of second class in direction of travel. HIKE DATA (according to Swisstopo): * Distance: 13.5 km * Difference in altitude: 543 m up and 674 m down * Estimated hiking time (without breaks): 4 hours * Difficulty\*: T2 WHAT TO BRING: * Lunch * Hiking shoes * Cash * Valid ticket(s) for public transport HOW TO GET THERE: * Departure from Zurich main station: 10.08 am (track 6, IR 13 towards Sargans) * Arrival in St. Gallen: 11.22 am * Departure from St. Gallen: 11.26 am (track 12, S21 towards Trogen) * Arrival in Trogen: 11.52 am WAY BACK: There is every half an hour a connection from Appenzell to Zurich. I expect us to be able to take the train leaving at 5 pm (arrival in Zurich main station at 6.52 pm).

**Our April novel is: *The Hong Kong Widow* by Kristen Loesch** **This month’s novel blends gothic atmosphere with historical fiction and chilling horror, set against the haunting backdrop of China. The book is 368 pages in print and 10 hours and 42 minutes on audiobook.** In 1950s Hong Kong, Mei is a young refugee of the Chinese Communist revolution struggling to put her past in Shanghai behind her. When she receives a shocking invitation—to take part in a competition in one of the city's most notorious haunted houses, pitting six spirit mediums against one another in a series of six séances over six nights, until a single winner emerges—she has every reason to refuse. Except that the hostess, a former Shanghainese silent film star, is none other than the wife of the man who once destroyed Mei’s entire life. It is promised the winner will receive a fortune, but there is only one prize Mei wants: revenge. Decades later, the final night of that competition has become an infamous urban legend: The police were called to the scene of a brutal massacre but found no evidence, dismissing it as a collective hallucination. Mei knows what she saw, but now someone else is convinced they know what she did. She must uncover the truth about the last night she ever spent in that house—even if the ghosts of her past are waiting for her there. . . .
