Bern’s old town is a charming place. This is just across the river from the Bear Pit, within the original town.

I’m really glad we decided against going to Zurich and instead opted for Bern when making our Swiss travel arrangements. Unfortunately we missed out on seeing the Alps up close (our train traveled near them, but not too near).

Starting in Vienna I really picked up on using foreground objects to try and block out undesirables. You can just see the car here, though I could probably block it out in some post-processing should I desire.

I think the flowers are actually a little too out-of-focus here, but because of the way the colours are layered you can still tell what you are looking at.
