Photos Around Geneva in Autumn

Towards the end of last year, we entered a photo competition organized by the Geneva Tourism Board. Here is a showcase of our entries in this competition.

We didn't specifically go out to take these photos for the photo competition. Instead we rummaged around in our hard disk and found some images that were suitable for the competition.

This was taken at Parc Bertrand, Geneva during the annual Hot Air Balloon festival. We could ride in one of the balloons for free but it was tied down. Well better than nothing.
