A recent walk in Lutry, Switzerland

One thing that can certainly be said about the Swiss coast of Lake Geneva.  It is gorgeous.

Lake Geneva (lac Leman in french) is a large crescent-shaped body of water, and is very moody.  Depending on the weather conditions and light, the water can vary from an emerald green reminiscent of glacial lakes to an angry dark blue-black.   Given the reach from Geneva to its halfway point of the crescent, Lausanne, the waves can get very large, impressive and dangerous.

Fortunately on this cool winter's day the waters were calm...almost idyllic -  and the light magical.
