Switzerland. Geneva. Garbage collectors. Streets cleaning. A street sweeper and his cart near the statue of an egyptian sphinx, the creature with a human head and a lion's body. The name 'sphinx' which means 'strangler' was first given by the Greeks to a fabulous creature which had the head of a woman and the body of a lion.
