The Lady of the Lake is Swiss Citizen

Nyon - Switzerland

The first of August is the Swiss National Day.
It is inspired by the mention of "early August" (primo incipiente mense Augusto)
in the Federal Charter of 1291,
the document which testifies the creation of Swiss Confederation.
Swiss celebrate it each year on August 1st
with town-wide paper lantern parades, bonfires,
hanging strings of Swiss flags and fireworks.

A beautiful intense red to warm the spirit and cast away the darkness.

La Dame du Lac fait miroiter avec beaucoup d'éclat et de témérité sa nationalité. Elle n'a pas peur qu'un coup d'éclair ne la mette au grand jour en tenant ces lanternes au dessus du lac dans cette nuit noire.

Well, what can I say? This is just beautiful.
The colours, the light and the reflections.
There is so much life and forms in the reflections; it's a very special passion there.
Excellent composition. V

Foto superlativa !! Ma un giorno o l'altro riuscirai a fare uno shot che ci consenta di vedere in viso la Dama del Lago. Ciao ! BK
