Lake Annecy

We arrived in Annecy in the rain, but on our second day we were rewarded with bright sunshine. Perfect for enjoying a walk along the edge of the lake.

I’m always amazed at the clarity of alpine water. The crystal clear water at the edges of the lake slid into a patchwork of brilliant turquoise, aqua, and green. There was even a dusting of snow on the peaks in the background.
