Lucerne

This is Lucerne (or Luzern in the German spelling).  It's a little city in the middle of the Swiss Alps, and it's really pretty.

This is probably my favorite picture of Lucerne.  The bridge and water tower are really old and the bridge was pretty cool to walk across.
This is Lowendenkmal, or the Dying Lion of Lucerne.  It was sculpted in the 1800s as a monument to Swiss soldiers that died defending the Tuileries.  Mark Twain once called it "the most mournful and moving piece of stone in the world".  It was actually breathtaking.


I like taking cloud pictures
