We took a short walk through the fields and vineyards surrounding the place where we are staying in Commugny, just north of the City of Geneva. The landscape reminded us for all the world of East Lothian (apart from the vineyards!)
Wandering the shore of Lake Geneva both yesterday and today, we noticed the shifts in light and mood of sky and water. A beautiful and gentle place.
Yesterday we crossed the Alps from Italy into France and then on to friends in Switzerland. The cloud was low and heavy over the peaks. Today we saw Mont Blanc in the far distance over the southern shore of Lake Geneva.
Following the heraldic tradition, Swiss flags on land are square in proportion. The red and white Switzerland Flag is one of only two square sovereign-state flags in the world (the other being the flag of Vatican City).
