Summer in Switzerland, and the fire next door… #SilentSunday(almost) #travel

A few photos of two of the trips I took this summer. (More to follow later in the month.)

Over the lake to Friedrichshafen in Germany. Click on the pics to see the uncropped version:

A walk around the Gubsensee reservoir in canton St Gallen:

For dramatic effects, though, we didn’t have to look further than next door, the day when it was 34°C and windy, and the building site went on fire… Fortunately, barring one case of smoke inhalation, no one was injured, but I have a new respect for firefighters now:

Next week, we’ll have some #amwriting news. I’ll leave you with an early-morning photo of our beautiful lake. Not a bad view when you’re trundling your shopping home from the supermarket:

    Visited the Zeppelin museum when staying in Bregenz a while ago – great day out.

      There’s so much to do in the area. I love Bregenz too, you get such amazing views down the lake.

      I don’t have the Like button enabled, but had this problem recently too on other blogs. When you click on ‘Like’ you’ll see a thin pop-up near the top of the page, and if you click on that you can say you want to ‘like’ the page. I guess they changed something, but it’s all a bit of a faff. 😳

    Lovely photos, Linda. The fire must have been pretty scary, I’m glad no-one was injured.

      Thanks, Cathy. The worry was it might spread to the woods – very fortunately, it didn’t!

      Thanks, Valeria! Yes, it was a good feeling when it rained heavily in the night, too.

      Thanks, Heather. Yes, they were very lucky with the fire. It could have been a lot worse. x
