As nice as driving through the hill country in Texas was this weekend, this is much nicer scenery. :)

BTW, what is it that makes that river in Bern such a pale blue-green color?

It's melted glacier water, it's very clean :)

unless you wanted a more scientific answer - which i don't have ;)

"Glacier runoff" is close enough. Thanks!

There are some fantastic photos there. Do you have the EXIF info for the first photo. I'm curious about your shutter sped, aperture etc...

What camera were you using? I'm a bit of a photographic buff.

EDIT: I'm surprised just how much Switzerland looks like New Zealand.

Heh, being a native kiwi and having visited some parts of Switzerland, I move that dancook comes to New Zealand (the South Island specifically) and takes some photos so we can compare the two countries.

Good idea, I'll start taking donations. :)
