Grove of birch trees behind the Zentrum Paul Klee in Bern Switzerland.
The Paul Klee museum is there; the family gravesite is in the cemetery nearby.
The first three are a small selection from the Zentrum Paul Klee 'Kosmos Klee.'
Could not help adding Lyonel Feininger from the Bern Museum. Feininger knew each other, worked together at the Bauhaus and influenced each other.
