Urban Entrances.101

So if I still have sunny summer Amsterdam entrance photos left over from that lovely summer garden walk more than four months ago (remember all those private garden posts?), I think it’s time to double down on the entrances thing like I just did with the pics-from-planes thing. Hope you’re in a door mood, dear readers… 🙂

Ah, Royalty.11

The royal coat of arms appears on any number of buildings in this town, and I’m really not quite sure why. Tried to do some research on this building, has building scaffolding and equipment around it, but gave up after half an hour of nothing…

Mountains.21

And these last shots of Mont Blanc living up to its name, taken from the roof of our office in Geneva shortly before I hopped the bus to the airport for the flight home. 🙂

We’ve swung a bit southeast to fly in more on the south side of Lac Leman, so you’re seeing Lac Leman at the top right, and more of Lac Neuchatel at the top lef, with some little lakes in mountains in front of them.

I knew I was seeing the southeastern end of Lac Neuchatel, which meant that curving lake in the distance was the eastern end of Lac Leman…and then I noticed a mountain rising noticeably higher than its neighbors and concluded it must be Mont Blanc. Took the close up below to convince myself. Was I wrong?

I’m calling this France because most of that September return trip happened over France. In October, they took us over more of Germany and approached from inland, whereas in the September journey we flew up the west coast of NL, as we’ve shown you in a past post or two…

From The Air.28

Final descent for our landing at Geneva, that morning a few weeks ago…

From The Air.27

Just taking off from Geneva (before the pics in the prior post – sorry if confusing), so these would be the mountains I’m fairly sure are on the other side of the French border.
