Pictures of Geneva, Switzerland

This cathedral (San Pierre) is where Jean Calvin preached during the Reformation.




















The building behind the Geneva's cantonal flag is where the Red Cross was founded.




















The Swiss (and perhaps all Teutonic Cultures) are fixated on clocks. I liked this unusual one.















Here's a classic Mini Cooper which is ideal for parking in medieval Geneva.




















There were a lot of swans in Lake Geneva and along the Rhone River.















Here's the Jet d'Eau, a fountain on the edge of Lake Geneva that shoots water about 400 feet into the air. You can see the outline of the Jura Mountains in the background.















Even the graffiti seems well-intentioned--if slightly incompetent.















They have a large monument to the Reformation in the park outside the University of Geneva.















They also have a lot of outdoor chess sets.















This park overlooking the lake has Roman ruins in it and it was occupied by ancient peoples even before that.















Here we are on the banks of the Rhone River on our way to dinner one night.
