My memories of Lac Léman

This is a short, personal note about my memories of Lake Geneva or Lac Léman, the second-largest freshwater lake in Europe.

In 2013 and 2014, I was living in Montreux, by the lake. I would wake up at 6 am and get a fabulous view of the lake from the windows in my room. The sunset over the lake was even more beautiful on clear days.

I took many photos of the Swiss Alps and Lac Léman, and for me, looking at these photos has been therapeutic, easing my tension, relaxing me, and motivating me to work.
