Observation Point, Giant Chess, and Camera Failures

So I decided to go to the Lake again about a week ago to take more pictures of ducks and tourists. I did an alright job with the pictures, nothing amazing or profound, and a couple of days later Eva (one of the girls living with me) went out with me to walk about Zürich a bit. She had heard about this spot from which much of the town can be seen. I took some pretty awesome pictures from there, and then when I got home I realized that the entire time my camera had been set to take tiny, tiny 2.5 Megapixel pictures. SUCK. So I decided to just edit them badly, make them look retro, and post them on a website instead of making high-quality postcards out of them, sell them on the street, and get arrested.

So here we go:

Some flowers


Graffiti, which is EVERYWHERE in Zürich:


Me, contemplating jumping into the lake of DOOOM:


Hungry duckies:


The feet of this really weird woman who emptied a huge back of bread crumbs into the water, causing the water in some of my pictures to look icky:


Zürich from a vantage point!


A cool roof:


More cool roofs:


Tram 15:


GIANT CHESS BOARD:

I had also been noticing these really shiny hubcaps on a car every time I walked to the grocery store, so here's a picture of that:
