Project 365 Day 50: Snowbrella
The snow has returned to Geneva, and one of the peculiarities in Europe is using an umbrella to shelter yourself from the snow.

The best thing about living in Geneva is that when it snows in the mountains, it rains in the city.
The emergency lane.
Despite the beautiful weather we had this week, this touch of spring wasn’t enough to undock the river cruise boat from Halles de l’Île.
Today was the march/vigil in Geneva for Charlie Hebdo, #JeSuisCharlie. So, I have selected a daily photo, but I have also added the whole set from this march, which is happening pretty much all around the world this weekend. Let us not forget that the press needs to remain uncensored and free to write the truth and not an altered version of that truth. Sometimes satire goes too far, but it’s just that, satire. It is meant to bring forth sensitive issues with all the heavy baggage. La marche en soutien a #JeSuisCharlie a Genève, Suisse.
This sad sad news overcomes us with sadness. #jesuischarlie
What a beautifully eerie and mystical morning I woke up to today!
Today’s scene was at Gare Cornavin in Geneva. While I captured quite a few shots I liked, I decided to share this one. At first sight, you might only see an out of focus image. But look closely, and you’ll see that I’ve shifted the subject and omitted the movement. Look closely and you’ll see that what’s in focus are the bus and tram electrical cables. Take a step back and you might notice the man on the bike and the woman walking completely respect the rule of thirds.
As I was walking across downtown Geneva today after work, I came across this group protesting against the Swiss-Israeli military collaboration at Tour de l’Île. They were asking those listening to perform certain actions throughout the week to let people know they were protesting.
