Geneva
is such a lovely town with plenty of hidden gems - we have only just scratched
the surface... One of the most picturesque areas is Carouge. It has plenty of
charm and is full of peaceful narrow streets and alleys which open out into
small squares and terraces or private gardens...
I took
these pictures yesterday…After a day of intense rain, the sky reappeared clear and
I was mesmerised by these vibrant autumn colours.
The Hans-Wilsdorf Bridge over the river Arve, inaugurated in 2012, connects the
city of Geneva and the Carouge – Praille – Acacias – Vernets neighbourhoods.
The bridge has a strong and elegant form. It has a tube-like structure which is
composed of steel ellipses as well as linear elements. (85 m long, 16 m wide).
On my
way to Carouge, I walked by the banks of the Arve, a river that flows from the
Alps in France and into the Rhône in Geneva.
Is this a snail or a slug?
Great
view from the Pont de Carouge (Carouge bridge)
Great snaps...looks so peaceful and a lovely reminder of why autumn is such a beautiful season.
