Let there be night!

Montreux by night/sunset

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:

FMMMD 2008 Gallery

A selection of 33 34 of my photos from the Freddie Mercury Montreux Memorial Day 2008 is now online on its gallery page – mostly daytime and sunset photos, for I didn’t want to lug my big camera during the events and concerts, and the small pocket camera can’t cope well with low-light situation…

The official site will surely display their own photos soon, too.

Projekt 52 week 14: The sun sets

The topic of week 14 in Sari’s photo Projekt 52:

The sun sets

Ever since I’m participating in this project, I occasionally come across motifs of which I think they’d fit this or that topic which surely will show up some time – I shot this photo in late January to have it “on stock”, so I don’t regard this as cheating, by the way. :mrgreen:

Especially since it’s questionable in these rather dull days if you get to see a proper sunset…

Furthermore, after reaching into the archives, I got a second image I want to show you:
