Europe's Deep Freeze

The Atlantic just published these amazing photos of Europe's deep freeze. And just 2 months ago, Lapland barely had any snow and they were telling me it was the warmest winter in 100 years! Fast forward a few months and sly Mother Nature decides to get a little cold. The pictures from Lake Geneva (last one) are crazy! I love how the snow froze that way, like the ice is living and moving. My friend actually posted similar looking photos from Montreux - made it seem all the more real. Kooky weather...oh, hey there Global Warming - how's it going?

On the plus side, I'm glad I left Sweden before the snow and ice set in. I wonder if I would have toughed it out on the bike or taken the bus. Considering my biking accident record, the bus is probably the better bet.

Montreux Love

The lake takes my breath away.

We ate dinner on top of these rocks along the boardwalk before heading down to see Cold War Kids. 

Montreux is turning out to be a multi-post juggernaut. Makes sense, I've spent half of the last week there. Part 1 here.

Lac Léman

Lac Léman. Lake Geneva.
This day, oh, it was a glorious day.
The lake is more beautiful than I had imagined. It's hard to believe that I live here.

By the way, it is not so fun to bring the wrong camera charger. So, you will either be subjected to the photo quality above, or of the cellular variety. sigh.
