Sunny over foggy over watery

Shots along a hike on a very sunny day by the end of the fall, after a storm that gave us the first snows of the season.

Leaving from the small town of Puidoux, Swiss Canton of Vaud, right off North of Lac Leman behind the UNESCO-protected area of Lavaux that I presented in this other story.

Starting to walk now! © Luciano Abriata.

We start walking towards the Lake, which appears rapidly in a stunning setting completed by late-fall trees and early-winter snow in the mountains:

See the lake? © Luciano Abriata.

We slowly get to the vineyards of Lavaux:

You can compare these yellow colors of the vines with the colors just one month ago:

Then we keep walking at mid-height along the Lavaux region. The sun still shines hard, and you get two doses of radiation: one straight from the star, and one reflected in the lake:

Near the end of the walk, as we get to Cully the sunbathed rocky walls are infested with Antirrhinum majus (Snapdragon or “Conejitos” (bunnies) in Spanish).

You may remember that I have several flowers of the family in my balcony. I mean family like in they are relatives, because I brought the seeds from here!

Thanks Lavaux for the stunning, easy walk. Goodbye and au revoir!
