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?
My sunrise journey at altitude on the morning of the 12th, traveling south-southeast past the northwestern shores of first the Bielersee, then Lac de Neuchatel, and finally Lac Léman before lining up for a landing at Geneva’s international airport gave me such stunning views that I decided I’ll catch show them all for the next several posts and also thus get my series numbers slightly more aligned. If you check the last post in this series, you’ll see all the first two of those lakes, with smaller Murtensee to the south. Now you’re watching the sun rise over what I’m fairly sure is the easternmost corner of Lac Léman, by the city of Montreux.
