Zürich, tramway line 15 at Buecheggplatz



It was not so easy to draw this one. As tramways usually do not stand still for a long time. But  I found an ideal spot for a sketch at the final destination of Buecheggplatz (where they turn in a circle  and are heading back for Klusplatz). And I was lucky as well that they use just one type of vehicle on line 15, as one of the drivers explained. So I could draw each one as long as standing there – for a few minutes, had a 5 minutes break after until the next had arrived. My perspective was just a few meters ahead of the tram. So I suddenly had to stand up and leave my place on the rails each time when they closed the doors and started blinking.

  2. Super! This perspective of the tram is great. I think the Bucheggplatz would be a good place to draw anyway with it's Trams, people and the cool overhead pathways. Maybe one day...

  3. That's impressive. I wish you all the best in the exhibition. Still not sure if I can pass by... for sure not on Friday or Saturday but will try on Sunday.
