Pont Bessières

Pont Bessières

Lausanne’s Pont Bessières with the Cathedral in the background.

Road Kill: Tie Down

Road Kill: Tie Down

Tie down integrated into the road surface at 32U MU 93530 99172 (N48°44’43.9” E8°54’43.2” or N48.74553 E8.91200).

Sadly, this monument to practical load securing has been paved over in 2013.

I like this image better every time I look at it.

Sunset Illuminates Clouds From Below

Sunset illuminates clouds from below

Taken from my balcony. Beautiful colors, caused by the confluence of

  • the sun standing below the clouds
  • a lot of clouds in the sky
  • a hole in the clouds allowing the sun to illuminate them from below
