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.

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.

Without the flowers it would have been just an ordinary photo – with the flowers it is really special!

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.

I think the ‘green things’ are pampas grass.

I also loved the fountain it is such a landmark.

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.
