Geneva's landmarks:BMF

Since 1883 the Power Plant Building is one of Geneva's highlights. Today a theatre, this amazing venue is a former hydro power plant called Usine des Forces Motrices.  It is positioned near the point where the river Rhone flows out of Leman Lake.

I was strolling there on this very sunny summer morning, nobody on sight except for the swan and some petty drug dealers who seem to love this place and its surroundings. I was very tempted to portrait them as well, since they had interestig features.

Night reflections...

This post is dedicated to my lovely niece who is celebrating today her 18th birthday.

My night search for a photogenic object was rewarded with this splendid reflections on Geneva's Marina or club Nautique as they call it over here.  It was again pitch dark, but long exposures make miracles :)

Ephémère....Geneva, Switzerland

One hour before midnight looking for something worthwhile a photo shoot, I discovered this termporary constructions on the shores of Lake Léman, with people chilling out around the tents on this warm summer night.

Le Jet d'eau revisited, Geneva

Le jet d'eau, the Water fountain is one of Geneva's icons. Here pictured at night with very poor light conditions, trying to improvise a tripod with everything I had in my bag and taking care not to get wet at the same time.
