Projekt 52 week 40: When I look through the window…

The topic of week 40 in Sari’s photo Projekt 52:

When I look through the window…

So einen schönen Ausblick wie manch andere hab ich hier mitten in der Stadt ja nun leider nicht…

40: When I look through the window...

Week 40: When I look through the window…

A wide-angle view from my inner city window – showing the old house that I already presented for “Opposites” at an earlier stage of its restauration in the center, the blue sky on Monday (probably the last one this week…) and my sun-lit fly-screen.


Lessons in Love

The topic of week 39 in Sari’s photo Projekt 52:

Love

Lessons in love
When will you ever learn
Lessons in love
When there’s nowhere left to turn

(Level 42, “Lessons In Love”)

…or also…

Hey boy where did you get it from?
Hey boy where did you go?
I learned my passion
In the good old fashioned school of lover boys

(Queen, “Good Old Fashioned Lover Boy”)

A look at the sky shows more cloud formations, a parhelion and a steaming sail boat: ;)

When sunny skies break through behind the clouds
I wish it could last forever…

A fork in the lake (thought these things only exist in roads…) in Vevey, in front of the Alimentarium, a food museum:

A few buildings: My hotel, the Eden Palace au Lac, and the restaurant Le Palais Oriental:

Through the old town, we reach a church, the late gothic Temple St-Vincent:

From its terrace we have a nice view of the lake and parts of the city:

Now quickly a few animals who also seem to enjoy the sun…

…before we say farewell with a postcard view:

Let there be night!

Sunsets at a lake have their own magic, that applies to Montreux too, of course…

Ships are still running when it’s getting dark:

The old market hall (Marché couvert) from 1890 – the lighting is probably more modern:

From Friday night after the shows – taken with the small camera, for as I mentioned I didn’t want to carry the large one with me during the concerts, and this was the only night when the lake was quiet enough for larger reflections:

At the end, a few “strange” stripes from Sunday – surely some conspriacy theorists got their own ideas of that ;) – and an almost boring cloudless evening on Monday:
