OMG - 38 hrs with no sleep- a tiny screen on a notebook - but I hope friends look anyway

I hope you, my friends, understand I'm too beat to do anything but show you a few from my trip today from NC to Zurich - then by car to Germany and the Lake of Constance in which I got to swim to my heart's content this afternoon.

5 women friends of long standing from a number of countries are living very cheap in the basement digs of a German friend, and we plan to explore the area for about 10 days.













Honestly, I'm clueless if what you see is worthwhile.
The first two are the airplane terminal in Zuerich, made me laugh.
Then the lake I swam in.
Then the happenstance of the old lady in the street's watering hole, cooling her heels, and whom I asked if she would let me take her picture. Then one of "us" joining her, after all, we were hot, too.

The last one, I hope, is just pretty.

Captures the eye.
Has depth and implied motion.
Concentric light rings down the tube enhance the effect.
Very nice indeed.

about your first photo - the perspective, the angle is amazing.

And this is so uncanny. I was just visiting my brother and we were looking at photos taken oh so many years ago of Lindau and the Bodensee. I remember that wonderful promenade where everyone gathered to watch the sunset.

Wishing you a wonderful time in Germany and looking forward to more photos.
