It is always tough to narrow down a years worth of images into a list of the “best” but, at the end of a year I like going back and review the photos I made during the year.

Swiss November

It was one of those perfect Swiss november which occur more frequently in memory than in life. Fall is my favorite season in Zurich. The leaves fall, the wind blows, and the country slowly changes its color from green to yellow.

Lindau

The town Lindau started its history on an island in the Lake Constance. Looking on a map you will find Lindau in the remotest south-western corner of Bavaria, which forms a triangle with the neighboring countries Austria and Switzerland. Around the year 800 a monastery was founded here and 100 years later the settlement Lindau was mentioned in writing. In 1274-1278 Lindau became an imperial town and even today the historical old town center on the Island Lindau displays through the numerous, well preserved architectural highlights the importance and prosperity it already had in the middle ages. There are many ways to discover Lindau, stroll through the charming old town center, pay a visit to the beautiful harbor entrance, take a boat or join a cruise on a sailing yacht to admire the views from afar, or go up in the air with a balloon for a truly unique experience.

The Greifensee is a pearl in the heavily built-up Glatt valley. This small lake, which has a water expanse of just under 9 square kilometres, and its shore areas of diverse flora and fauna are a favourite excursion destination for people from the conurbation of Zurich city.

Prague

At the geographical heart of Europe, Prague’s beautiful cityscape has been carved and sustained by a variety of emperors, artists and religious communities, from the Gothic exuberance of its castle and cathedral, to the dignity of the medieval Jewish Cemetery, and the 19th-century opulence of the “new” town. Under Communist rule, Prague was off the tourist map, but since 1989 the city has seen a surge of visitors eager to take in this spectacular city.

Rome

It may no longer be caput mundi (capital of the world), but Rome is an epic, bubbling-over metropolis harbouring lost empires. One visit and you’ll be hooked.

Paris, City of Light

Remzi Gokdag — Mon, 25 Apr 2011 22:38:16 +0000

Well informed, eloquent and oh-so-romantic, the ‘City of Light’ is a philosopher, a poet, a crooner. As it always has been, Paris is a million different things to a million different people.

Paris probably has more familiar landmarks than any other city in the world. As a result, first-time visitors often arrive in the French capital with all sorts of expectations: of grand vistas, of intellectuals discussing weighty matters in cafés, of romance along the Seine, of naughty nightclub revues, of rude people who won’t speak English. If you look hard enough, you can probably find all of those. But another approach is to set aside the preconceptions of Paris and to explore the city’s avenues and backstreets as if the tip of the Eiffel Tower or the spire of Notre Dame wasn’t about to pop into view at any moment.

Paris, City of Love

Paris, the City of Love, evokes romantic emotions in anyone who has ever visited. This centuries-old city is the most visited city in the world, and for good reason. There is plenty to do in Paris to satisfy travelers of all tastes.

California

Californians know they live in one of the most diverse and interesting places in the world, and we’re proud of the state they call home. They’ve got it all: misty redwood forests, an exceptionally verdant Central Valley teeming with agriculture, the mighty Sierra Nevada Mountain Range, eerily fascinating deserts, a host of world-renowned cities, and, of course, hundreds of miles of stunning coastline.
