Streets of Geneva

A street scene from Geneva, Switzerland. I used a grain effect on this one. I rather like the effect, especially coupled with the black and white. Photo taken in February 2003.

Golden wings

The Brunswick Monument is a memorial to the Duke of Brunswick who died in Geneva in 1873. He left his fortune to the city on the condition that they erect him a monument even more beautiful than that of the Scaligeri family in Verona. I think the golden-winged angels fit the bill. Photo taken in February 2004.

Magnificent columns

The Cathedral Saint Pierre is a Gothic beauty in the heart of Geneva, Switzerland. It was originally a Catholic church but was converted during the reformation, you can even see Calvin's chair inside. Photo taken in February 2004.
