Vacation to Switzerland-Montreux

We finally reach Montreux and check in at our Hotel and we loved the view from our balcony... Lake Geneva.







We take a walk down in the evening and the children are happy to see the rainbow...

As the sunsets after the rain it's a beautiful sky...

With this our vacation in Switzerland came to an end as the next day we were off to France...

To see more beautiful skies join me at

    Oh these took my breath away!!!! I love those blue/turquoise tones. I've been seeing so much turquoise lately. I don't know what that means. Did you see my post on Monday about Turquoise? :D (oh, I'm your newest member)

    Hi Shantana :-) What wonderful, blissful views from your balcony...paradise!! I think it would be worth going just for that view quite apart from all the other beautiful scenery you saw. The sunsets are magnificent too.

    I hope you all have a lovely weekend!

    Wow, Shantana, what beauty they have there! I would never want to leave.

    As I scrolled through your photos I'd think, "Oh, that's my favorite!" But then I'd scroll a little further and think, "No, THAT'S my favorite." And then I'd scroll some more and think, "No, wait..." LOL They're all so pretty, but the one above and the one below the rainbow, plus the last one, are my favorites. And that's my final answer. I think. :-)

    Have a wonderful weekend!

    Hi Shantana, i will always remember you as the one who toured me around Switzerland, and am very thankful. OMG, rainbow at night! Rains within a part of a picture is common to me here in the country, but rainbow at night is incredible. So what is the time for sunrise and sunset? I am excited for your next photos in France, may you be fully enjoying your trip!
