I went swimming in Lake Zurihch

in #photography8 years ago (edited)

While Sabrina and I were in Switzerland a few weeks ago we had a day or two where we could just chill out and take in the sights. Since we were staying in a cute little town right beside lake Zurich one day we decided to go enjoy the sunshine, sit by the lake, and maybe even take a little dip!

Sabrina wasn't feeling very well so she stayed on the shore and took photos, but I just couldn't resist. I had brought my swim trunks with me and a towel, and the weather was beautiful so I jumped in the lake and it was awesome!

We'd seen people swimming all the time in the lake since we had been there and I was just wondering if there was something special about it, more than, you know, it just being a nice lake to swim in. The water was really clean and refreshing, a little cold, but that's what you want on a hot sunny day.

All in all it was a really nice time, plus, you can't really see it in the photos, but the view of the mountains was absolutely incredible!

Hope you enjoyed my goofy posing and lake swimming. Switzerland is really expensive but if you ever get the chance to visit you should absolutely take it. It's a stunning country, the mountains will absolutely blow your mind.
