Mountains.54

Took these looking north as our bus wended from Visp up to Täsch, where we got the narrow-gauge train on to Zermatt. Those mountains are on the southern side of the valley of the Rhone, which yes, is the river that drains Zermatt and then feeds that lovely lake I’ve shown you before in post from or en route to Geneva :-).

From the Air.63

As I mentioned yesterday, I was heading to Switzerland from Paris. This is me today in Switzerland … in mid-air on a suspension bridge. Looking directly down from said bridge, you’d see what I show you next. Thereafter, a few more scenic shots all from mid-air on that bridge :-). The village in the valley is Zermatt, my home for a few more nights this week. Some of you may be able to deduce what this means you’re likely to see next…

Notre Dame of course sits on Ile de la Cite, with Ile St Louis nested upstream and next to it. You can just see St Louis’s tip in the photo at the bottom, to the left. Why oh why did it take me more than three years of living in Amsterdam to finally just hop on the train down here? I’d forgotten how much I love this city.

City Lights.73

Yes, we’ve made it back to the City of Light for the first time in — wait for it — fourteen years. Today I’m heading on towards Switzerland after three days of getting reacquainted with this unique city in which I spent a fair amount of time between 2005 and 2010. These are all from an evening walk along both banks of the Seine and around the Marais on my first evening, last Saturday.

Looking north from the Noord Brabant bank to the Gelderland bank of the Maas, in July.

Signs of the City.103

A variety of photos taken around town as I followed one of the pride walks / marches. I walked in the other with friends from work; photographed this one around town; and then observed and photographed the boat parade, which we’ve already shown you in great detail :-). And herewith video, for those of you with sufficient bandwith:
