Some pictures from the Thunersee, and a renaissance ukelele.

I was fortunate to stay at a nice hotel right on this beautiful lake in Thun, Switzerland.

OK, this isn't a ukelele, it's a renaissance guitar. It's about the same size though. It fit into my suitcase. I took it along with me for fun. I sort of liked how this turned out-the texture of the peach and the clarity of the water.

This is from a concert at a small early music festival in the département of Vendée, in western France.

3. Nice. Very pretty.

I like the peach/not-a- ukelele/water photo.

The bottom shot would work in the upcoming contest for "Purple".

4. Oh, I could sit under those

trees gazing at that landscape for hours!

All very nice photos.

5. Serenely beautiful, and exciting as well.

In the last one (I also think it could be an entry for "Purple" next month) I look for the Phantom and in my mind's ear I hear the music. It's a wonderful photograph. It looks like you are having yourself a swell time!
