And yet the wiser mind
Mourns less for what Age takes away,
Than what it leaves behind.”

For some contrast to yesterdays organic picture, here’s something man-made. I think,  even the ugliest and most banal of objects can look attractive when viewed in isolation.

Just to prove that the sun doesn’t always shine on lake Luzern! If you’re going to the Pilatius mountain from Luzern, one option is to travel by boat – I’d highly recommend it as even on a day like pictured here, it offers some amazing and atmospheric views.

“Suddenly a mist fell from my eyes and I knew the way I had to take.”
