1. Where is this??

Nice picture. It looks interesting. Is that a lake? Sorry, I guess I like to deconstruct things sometimes. :)

5. Swiss indeed; Chateau de Chillon, overlooking lake Geneva...

I admit to being partial to this shot; gratifying that you also like it.

I have about a billion photos from the Swiss trip; I will probably be posting them until the group cries out "Enough with the Switzerland stuff!!!"

7. Beautiful!

I really like this picture. I keep looking for more 'clues' in it. Mysterious and grabbing. Great shot!

9. There is something about that picture

that gives me the chills. It's very spooky and the darkness of the space certainly gives the room a medieval feel to it. I like it because it triggers an emotion.

10. Beautiful photo.

I didn't have time to see the inside of the chateau when I was there, but had an amazing meal (lake perch & much Valaisanne wine) in Villeneuve on a lakeside deck with a wonderful view of Chillon.

This photo brought Byron's The Prisoner of Chillon to mind:

"A sunbeam which hath lost its way,
And through the crevice and the cleft
Of the thick wall is fallen and left..."
