Annecy.

An evening in the old town and on the lake, then a morning along the canals before the drive north.

A narrow street of painted houses and café terraces in old Annecy, a gate tower at the far end
The old town at the end of the afternoon, the gate tower at the top of the street.
Me smiling at a café table on a square, a carafe and a glass of white wine in front of me, ochre houses behind
Dinner on the square.
Lake Annecy after sunset, still water reflecting trees and the mountains across the lake
The lake after sunset, flat calm.
Small white motor boats and a sailing boat moored along a quay at dusk, mountains on the far shore
Boats in for the night.
The clear green water of the Thiou canal running between old buildings in morning sun
The Thiou the next morning, clear to the bottom.
Me in sunglasses and a white T-shirt leaning on a bridge rail over the canal, a paper bag of pastries in my hand
Pastries on the bridge rail, then the car.
