Early spring

A few weeks ago I wrote about how long this winter is being in Ireland… Lots of storms, many cloudy and windy days and cold and humid weather… In other words, I didn’t have many opportunities to go out and take photos… But this is changing. Days are getting longer […]

A day in Lucerne

I was looking forward to explore a bit more of Switzerland during my last trip to Zurich. I had only a weekend so, after considering a few options, I decided to spend a day in Lucerne. I couldn’t have chosen better! Lucerne is located in central Switzerland in a stunning scenary: […]
