GENEVA, SWITZERLAND

The Jet D'Eau, the world's tallest fountain, is Geneva's famous landmark

A rainbow appears in the Jet D'Eau's mist spray.

The Swiss flag reflected in the surface of Lac Leman

Rain clouds over the Brunswick monument

Statue of idealist thinker Jean Jacques Rosseau

Prisoners of war sculpture at the United Nations headquarters

Flags of the UN member nations
Centerpiece of the UN grounds

By the River Rhone (Looked up the word BAVEUX and it means "drooling"-- makes no sense to be there, just thought that the hanging letters looked photographic)



Red Cross International Museum and Headquarters

A group of apartments, inspired by The Schrumpts cartoons, are quirky architectural wonders

Breakdancing to the beat of bongos

Accordion-playing Mideasterners lively up a crowd
