Geneva, last week, the Jet d’Eau fountain
I was there last week with my friend Liliane. It was hot and sticky, but the fountain was running. It is Geneva’s most famous landmark. I liked the contrast of the flowers and of the ominous sky.
Wednesday Window: Geneva Jet d’eau fountain
It’s the tallest fountain I’ve ever seen! What are the green things on the right? I have some grasses in my yard that look exactly like that, only short.
I think the ‘green things’ are pampas grass.
I also loved the fountain it is such a landmark.
It looks like the fountain touches the heavens! Beautiful shot, Claude.
Absolutely gorgeous!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The details of this photo are fabulous! It’s so much better than the one I saw on Vikipedia and on the Geneva tourist pages. Sometimes, Claude, I think you send special messages to the X-GUY to get the set of clouds you wish, and the flowers to grow in a certain way, at a certain spot. Keep your secrets…as long as we see the photos.
Without the flowers it would have been just an ordinary photo – with the flowers it is really special!
Kenju, I think the green things on the right are papyrus plants with flowers, I had some of those for a while. For picture see: http://www.aujardin.info/plantes/papyrus.php. See also http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Papyrus. Have a beautiful summer.
Years ago when my husband was on the board of his former company, we traveled to Geneva frequently. I remember the lake and the fountain but most especially all the beautiful flowers.
Ah. Those were the days my friend.
Your photos always are so very beautiful.
