Switzerland
I visited Switzerland
in 2000, ariving in Zurich, and traveling by train to Bern, the capital
city. Switzerland's population of about 7,800,000 (est.2009) with and area
of 41,290 sq km., consists of speakers of German (65%), French (18%), Italian
(10%) and Romansch, 1%.
Switzerland is a pristine, clean, safe, and well organized country to travel,
have fun and take photographs. The lovely scenery of the Swiss Alps, lakes,
nature, and varieties of types of architecture, leave little to the imagination
of the photographer. Here is a scene recorded in the capital city Bern.
