SCHWEIZ SECHSELAEUTEN
Reiter galoppieren um den brennenden Boeoegg, anlaesslich des traditionellen Sechselaeutens am Montag, 20. April 2009, in Zuerich (KEYSTONE/Steffen Schmidt) A guild rides around the "Boeoegg" on the Sechselaeuten meadow in Zurich, Switzerland, pictured on April 20, 2009. The Sechselaeuten (ringing of the six o'clock bells) is a traditional end of winter festival with a parade of guilds in historical uniforms on horseback and the burning of the Boeoegg, a symbolic snowman, at 6 pm. The faster the Boeoegg explodes, the hotter the summer will be according to traditional weather rules. (KEYSTONE/Steffen Schmidt)
