Photos: Swiss Countryside and Vaduz, Liechtenstein

Here are a few pictures taken from the bus of the beautiful Swiss countryside. It was so sunny, that the windows had a lot of reflections on them. >:/ I was rather torn, as I like the sunshine.  And I will not deny that I slept through a fair bit of the drive, as I was jet-lagged.

SO SUNNY! A shame that some of the nicest weather we had
 was when we were stuck in the bus all day and sleeping off
jet-lag. >:/




It was so flat in between the mountains.

An old building on the hillside.


We stopped in Vaduz, Liechtenstein for a lunch/bathroom/photo break. We only got 40 min. So you essentially had to choose 2.



They look like steps to the mountains! :D








I really like the detailing on this building.











I loved the detailing in the shingles too!


Nest stop: Innsbruck, Austria!

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
