Last week, with my friend Liliane, we were lucky enough to enjoy fantastic weather during a two-day trip to Geneva and Lausanne, only a few hours from Paris these days on the TGV.
It was really a magic afternoon, with the mist on the lake and the snowy Alps in the background. Even the winter trees looked good!
Oh Claude – I love everything about this picture! The beautiful water, the walk way over the water, the trees, the (snow capped?) mountains in the background. And are those ducks? Beautiful!
Very magical, very lovely, lovely blues
“O temps! suspends ton vol…”
As soon as I saw your photo, I thought of Le Lac de Larmatine.
“Ne pourrons-nous jamais sur l’océan des âges
Jeter l’ancre un seul jour?”
With the poet, you illustrate so well the desire of our hearts to retain forever a moment of beauty.
It’s LAMARTINE, of course! Your poor hand was bruised by cruel needles, Claude. It will go away, after a while. I suffer from stiff, old fingers mixing up the letters on the keyboard. I think it’s permanent…
Cheers!
this picture is wonderful. the trees are perfect. but the mountains, oh me….
A marvelous photo, Claude, as usual. When we were in Switzerland in 2006, we only saw Zurich, but we took the train to Paris and saw a lot of the countryside. It is beautiful!
Bit late dropping in – but it was worth it as usual. Blue my favourite colour.
Oh that is such a lovely photo!!!
great one! 🙂
What I can see, it looks beautiful. That right hand sidebar is back in the middle again, and I really can’t read what you’ve written.
Thanks everyone
@ Terri, I cannot see the same as you on my computer, but I had an idea and think/hope I fixed it. Let me know if I did or not. Thanks for mentioning it. 🙂
Beautiful beautiful! It has an Asian/Oriental look somehow even though I know it is not. It seems it could be in China somewhere…like a Chinese painting with its spareness and the birds and the bare trees, with the misty mountains.
