Glacial Lake in the Alps

Saturday, August 5th, 2006

This was taken in Switzerland and it shows a few landlocked glacial lakes and a few glaciers high in the alps. The clouds came out puffy with some nice shadows down below.

I uploaded a few pictures from Zurich, where I spent some time last summer.  It always seemed cloudy there and it was horribly cold, but stylishly so, as the Swiss normally are about everything.  That first picture is actually from their public transit system.  That is some serious tax revenue that can generate public facilities like that…

In that picture of me, I really should be wearing a coat but my bag was lost and I had just flown in from LA.  The Swiss people just generally regarded me as a stupid American that can’t figure out the purpose or proper use of a coat.

Lugano, Switzerland

From Rome we took the train up past Como again to Lugano Switzerland. It was a fantastic little gem of a town on a beautiful lake - just as pretty as Como. Unfortunately, it was sort of a hazy day so my pictures did not come out the best, but the town itself was flawless. It was sort of a Stepford Wives type town, although I could not find Nicole Kidman with her sassy sassy haircut anywhere. I did find a and consume a lot of Swiss chocolate, something which is probably not consumed by the aforementioned Nicole Kidman.
