I spent a couple of nights in Geneva for work this week. I came across some Europeans who have trouble comprehending what is involved in travelling from Australia. I left Canberra on Monday evening and flew via Brisbane and Dubai before arriving in Geneva on Tuesday afternoon (late Tuesday evening in Canberra). Coming home, I left Thursday and arrived home on Saturday losing Friday altogether.
Geneva for work
Téléphérique Salève cable car
Because of the way my flights worked out and to ensure the most economical fare structure, I got a few hours to myself on Thursday morning. I caught the number 8 bus from the Metropole bus stop to the Veyrier Douane bus stop just inside the border with France and a short walk to the base of Mont Savève where the Téléphérique Salève cable car station is. I’m grateful to a work mate who used to travel to Geneva frequently for the tip about the Téléphérique Salève cable car ride.

This photograph is a panorama I stitched together from about a dozen files I shot using my Sony fixed 35 mm compact point and shoot camera. I used Adobe Lightroom to piece it together and then did some extra editing in Aurora HDR 2019. I shot the files from the top of Mont Salève where the Téléphérique Salève cable car station terminates. You can see Geneva, its lake, and Lake Geneva’s famous water jet.
