Pictures III: Sanary, Feuchtwanger Symbosium, Geneva, Bern & St. Gallen

[selenak]

And so we come to the third and last installment of the guided photo tour.







Sanary-sur-mer. Looking pretty much like the exiles saw it 60 years ago.




Dito.



The Villa Valmer, where Lion Feuchtwanger and his wife Marta used to live. Told you he was a bestselling novelist.



Me, talking about the guy.



His nephew.


Lecture audience. That's Primrose Feuchtwanger, Adrian Feuchtwanger and Ian Wallace (i.e. chairman of the Feuchtwanger Society) sitting in the front row. Yours truly somewhat behind.



Geneva


Bern.



Aw.



Fountain called the "Childeater"



Strong contender for most beautiful library ever - St. Gallen

Anyone who wants to use any of the photos for icons, just tell me and feel free. Actually, should anyone feel inspired, I'd love a library icon, using a Neil Gaiman or Terry Prattchet quote, perhaps...

Euwww... I see what you meant about the unfortunate ponytail...

Lovely pictures otherwise, though ;) And indeed, a beautiful library.

Some men can pull it off, and some men can't...

[wychwood]

PS I stole your library picture to make an icon with :) It's nowhere near as glorious as yours (*iconenvy*), but still...

[selenak.livejournal.com]

It's beautiful, and I'm glad you used the picture. I put it up to share the magnificence!

[ratmmjess.livejournal.com]

Good grief, what a library!

Again, very nice pictures.

[selenak.livejournal.com]

Isn't it like something Lucien should be responsible for?

Thanks.

[ratmmjess.livejournal.com]

Oh, very yes! Yes, that's certainly what Lucien should be taking care of.

I look at that picture, and then at my own library, and I get depressed. :-)

that library is just madness.

if you ever took Giles or Willow or Wesley there, they would just never leave.

[selenak.livejournal.com]

I had a hard time leaving myself!

Bears! That statue is bizarre. Wonderful library and I could probably try and do an icon if you could pick a quote.

[selenak.livejournal.com]

How about "Library of Dreams"?

[kathyh]

Well, I've had a go at it, but don't feel you have to use it because I'm not a hundred percent sure it works.

[selenak.livejournal.com]

Thank you, oh kind one!

[angeyja.livejournal.com]

Wonderful pictures! Thank you.

[selenak.livejournal.com]

You're very welcome.

[shezan.livejournal.com]

Ooooooo, pretty!!!

[selenak.livejournal.com]

Isn't it?

[muffinmonster.livejournal.com]

Wow, that's really the prettiest library I've seen so far! I'd make you an icon, but unfortunately my graphics program picked yesterday to die on me ;)

Now I feel like visiting Switzerland...

[selenak.livejournal.com]

We do share a border with it, and they just said yes as opposed to a certain other nation, so do your part for the European Community and visit.*g*
