A different view of 2016

Men in women's clothing ring in the old new year, a gymnast puts a spin on politics: just two of the images that will be remembered from 2016. The picture editor of swissinfo.ch has assembled a series of images that reflect some of the most talked about events of the year, but seen from a unique perspective.  These are mingled with pictures that celebrate the greeting of each new season, the passion of athletes and sport fans alike and the moods of the natural world.
