Here we go, another round of interesting photos posted in the last week.
First off, not only is it officially now spring, the flowers in the mountains think so too.

Next, a view across the lake at Geneva at night.

Again in Geneva, or to be precise, underneath it. Part of the CERN nuclear accelerator project.

And just to show not everything in Switzerland is beautiful…

Geneva Motor Show week, so must have one pic from there, even if it doesn’t have a car in it. Titan 3025

Still loads of snow around, and here we see some chamois foraging for food near Zermatt. The blue

Following on the nature theme, this looks natural, but is in fact at Zürich zoo. Tambako

Finally a night shot near Geneva, convincingly showing that the Swiss don’t use curtains. Vin 60
