Pictures from Ian and Kat's Digital Camera: Boat trip on Lake Geneva
[Up to Switzerland: 17–26 Apr, 2015 ]

Here are pictures from various trips I have taken to faraway (and not-so-faraway) places.


During sabbatical in Europe, we went to Switzerland for a week to give talks at EPFL and ETH Zurich. It was our first time in Switzerland.
Our last day in Lausanne, we took a 3-hour boat trip on Lake Geneva.

You can (mostly) see the French Alps across the lake.

There are many vinyards on the Swiss (southern-exposure) slope.

As we get nearer, the mountains become more visible.

One of the other boats on the lake was an olde-timey steam-powered paddleboat.

We all came out to Montreux // on the Lake Geneva shoreline // to make records with a mobile // We didn't have much time.

We believe this is a statue of Freddy Mercury, who lived in Montreux in the later part of his life.
