Switzerland: The Platzspitz, or "Needle Park" 2

Before reading this post please read the one posted immediately before...

I took a walk in the "The Platzspitz" today, and as my previous post mentions it is a relatively "normal" park in the centre of Zurich.... to be honest though, it did seem a little eerie. It was very quiet and tucked away behind the Landesmuseum...

Not many people and a couple of relatively shady characters hanging around... on the surface though, it looked pretty ok.... maybe I had some pre-concieved ideas here...

I know it has been 15 years but there was nothing other than the Grafitti on the sign near the entrance which gave away what "The Platzspitz" was "Needle Park". It is merely a memory to some, but substantially more than that to those who came here...

For R&R, on the 13th October, 1989, I hope that it was forever... and I hope forever was everything they had hoped it would be....
