The Overcast Streets of Switzerland

      Happy Easter! I hope you're having or had a good break and celebrated with some treats of the chocolatey kind. I arrived in Switzerland on Thursday to meet my mum who works and resides in the week in the town of Zug. I love the Swiss charm and traditional architecture of the main town, with historic and mythical paintings on the faces of the buildings, though the outer houses are much harsher and more modern, which I really don't like as I think the grey cement doesn't fit with the beauty of the hills and the lake.
     So I hit the town to get some photos to capture the town and its pretty houses; there is something about the triangular rooves which I think would look so abnormal and unpractical anywhere other than rural areas surrounded by mountains, but fit so perfectly here. It was pretty cloudy to start with and when I came out of the restaurant it was snowing! Not unexpected but a happy shock anyway.
