Lucerne in Winter

Lake Lucerne looking from the shoreline of the city


Beautiful late afternoon sun on a Friday


We joined the rest of the community for early TGIF

The famous Kapell-Brucke wooden bridge across the river which divides the old and new city.


Beautiful sunset on the Lake with only the snow-capped mountains still in the sun


We visited this incredible 360 panorama museum painted in 1881 by an artist who took part in the end of the Franco-Prussian War which ended in neutral Switzerland who cared for all the soldiers


This mural was painted for Fastnacht - the Swiss version of Mardi Gras



A nice mixture of old and new in the city



We were guests of long-time Daktronics partner, Fritz Mueller for a Lucerne FC game.  That's a Daktronics video screen showing celebration after Lucerne's first goal



On our way home, we stopped in the little town of Titisee in the black forest



The glacier lake in town probably looks much more inviting in the summer



Some classic standup "imbiss" dishes available on the street 



We found a nice restaurant just off the lake for coffee and ....



... Black Forest Cherry Cake!
