Switzerland Panoramas and Geneva

Took a train to Geneva to meet my brother's friend, Beau. Took more panoramas and finally had food that was reasonably priced (and tasty). Since Geneva is near France, everyone here speaks French and maybe the proximity has something to do with the pricing and taste of food. Where we're staying, Basel, everyone speaks German or Swiss-German. The minimum wage of Switzerland is also around 13 Swiss Francs, which is probably why everything seems so expensive.



A train stop where we transferred while traveling to Geneva.



This is a cathedral in Geneva. Don't know the name of it. I'm not a good tourist. I'm ok with that.



I think this is where Lake Geneva empties into Rhone River, and the fountain on the left is Jet d'Eau. Don't let the picture fool you. That thing is huge.



This is a museum around Head, a big design institute in Geneva. I think it was closed, so we have a loitering shot. In the foreground is Brett, Beau has her back to us, and on the left is Orson Welles. He ain't dead.



These guys were at a river-side restaurant playing cards. They seem content.

Switzerland Day...4(?)

Starting to lose track of the days. Took a quick trip to the market during sunset, and the light was pretty nice.



The inside of the train station was lit from the other side, giving this strange effect of a glowing train station.



Not to mention the ability to smoke inside it, which made for some dramatic lighting.

Going to Geneva tomorrow, and hopefully I'll get some nice panorama shots.

Switzerland Day 3: Boat Ride

We went on a boat ride, in Lake Zurich.



I tried using the photo stitching feature in Photoshop CS3, and it came out pretty well. Not the most impressive picture though. Better ones to come, and I'll try to find a host that can support full sized images.



There was a gas-powered torch at the dock, probably for warming yourself while waiting for the boat? This guy's got the right idea.



A man takes a smoke-break while we pass by.



The town of Zurich, lit up, almost like it's filled with stars.
