Rapperswil

I think I'm going to get in to trouble with a certain blogger from Surrey, England. This photo exhibits all the things I criticised about his Thames photo recently, and adds quite a few of its own.. tempus fugit tho'

Rapperswil is at the southern end of Lake Zurich, and a very nice place it is too. Hotel Schwanen is on the shore - Joseph Roth wrote bits of "The Radetzky March" there - that's the one with words in it, not the Josef Strauss version, although that has it's charm and illuminates the book.

Yes, there was a heavy frost last night.......

The picture works just fine. There's enough going on in the sky to warrant its inclusion in the frame. Pity about the smoke stacks... (notice how the eye is drawn towards them by the distant ridge lines)

Hi jph - thanks for the critique. I thought that maybe the smoke catching the light was the interesting part - but I could be wrong of course!
