Framed Print of The Boeoegg, a snowman made of wadding and filled with firecrackers
The Boeoegg, a snowman made of wadding and filled with firecrackers, burns atop a bonfire in the Sechselaeuten square in Zurich, April 16, 2012. As the bells of St. Peters church chime six o clock, the bonfire below the Boeoegg is set alight and mounted guildsmen gallop around the pyre to the tune of the Sechselaeuten March. The faster the head of the Boeoegg, the symbol of winter, catches fire and explodes, the warmer and more beautiful the summer will be.
