Lucerne

Another World (But Not So Different)

Sailboats live in a different world when they are moored on Lake Lucerne in Switzerland, which is where this photo was taken. The water is clearer and colder in summer than Lake Oahe. And, of course, boats at the Spring Creek Marina don't have snow capped mountains looking down on them. Otherwise, this is a familiar scene to me: beautiful boats waiting dutifully for their skippers to take them out for a sail.

Sailing the Alps

Of course you can't "sail the Alps" but you can certainly sail with the Alps in full view, as here on beautiful Lake Lucerne in Switzerland.The last student group I took to Europe spent two nights in this beautiful place. After London and Paris, it was a perfect place to recharge our batteries. It was also a good place to window shop for expensive Swiss watches. Oh, and I bought a Swiss Army Knife while I was there. It looks pretty much like one you could buy at Scheels.Canon 5D 1/80s f/4.0 ISO400 95mmCreative Commons License
