Photos: Lucerne, Switzerland (Night shots)

Hey everyone, I took a short break from blogging while I was putting together my portfolio for Ryerson. I'm back now, so expect tons more pictures, and those 2 projects I promised before I left! XD

These are some of the night shots I took over the 2 days spent in Lucerne. I was mainly experimenting with what settings worked best for nighttime photography.


On the Kappelbrucke


I like this guy! XD




That's the church we went to.

See look, the swans are all still awake


We had our early St. Patricks day celebration here the
 following night!


OMG deliciousness!

I had this delicious strudel in vanilla sauce, and OMG it was
TO DIE FOR!!!


The following night after dinner  (delicious fondue!) and church (in german!) we proceeded straight to a bar to celebrate St. Patty's day! XD

The hotel restaurant


Aren't they cute?! :D


The Hotel Pickwick




Next stop: Vaduz, Liechtenstein and a scenic road trip through the Alps!

PS: I have added a new feature to my blog! There is now a map at the bottom of the page which shows where I've been, lived and would like to go! I still have to work out the kinks though, because it is trying to convince everyone I've lived in Denmark and Northern Ireland... which I haven't. Those are just places I would like to visit. XD

Photos: Lucerne, Switzerland (Day 2)

This is a huge photo dump, so be prepared! XD

We spent the morning wandering around Lucerne, taking in the sights. It was chilly, and overcast, but the sun tried to peek though the clouds at a few points during the morning.







We had mass in this church (in German!) that evening.






WHAT IS THIS?! Is it a badger or a really bizarre looking lion?













The Dying Lion Monument



We went inside this church, but I didn't take any pictures because they were
 having mass.  It was quite beautiful though!

At this point, mum and I ditched the group, who were going back to the hotel for an hour, to explore on our own.


It looks so swiss! 














A seagull in Switzerland!
Giraffes? What do they have to do
with anything?!

Cutest store ever!





























Up next: Mt Rigi!
