Sailboat on a winter’s Lake Thun

I’m just experimenting with my new Nikon Z6ii and a “kit” 20-120 mm / f4 lens. This photo was taken in near darkness using automode.  I have a feeling I need a few more weeks’ experience with automode before I even try to take next steps with the other modes!

Interestingly, there is a link in the mural to the artist: https://www.seyo.ch/

Canola and Swiss Tennis

A canola field in front of the Swiss Tennis center. Interestingly that road in the foreground is “Rue de Roger Federer” – but as many times as I have been on it, I’ve never seen him.

Looks like a hill but in fact a mountain range running left and right – only looks like a hill because of the panoramic effect!

Google took the liberty of combining some separate photos I had – now the only thing missing is the chrome and loud stereo!
