Picture Post 11


The center of Geneva early in the morning



The public park has huge game sets. I was tempted to play my cell phone chess game and move the pieces on the big board, but that might have looked weird playing by myself



The Jet d'Eau right when it was turned on



Same picture, 20 minutes later. Weather changes fast!



The Geneva town hall where the Geneva conventions was held in 1864



A model of Geneva while it still had its fortifications. This took some guy about 10 years to build



This is where they saw if accused witches weighed less than a duck



One of the many conference rooms in the UN buildings



The Peace Palace, former home to the League of Nations and now owned by the UN



That chair in front of the Peace Palace has one broken leg to symbolize something, but I don't remember what



One of the public parks has beehives, which strikes me as unsafe, but there it is



A great view of Mount Blanc, the highest mountain in Western Europe
