Romont

Romont from afar

My birthday field trip was to Romont in Canton Fribourg, home of a charming walled city with a stained glass museum and also a giant Nespresso factory. We walked around the city and then, because we like to live dangerously, hiked the 40 minutes or so to nearby Mézièrs and visited the wallpaper museum (which was slightly [but not much] more interesting than it sounds, and did not allow photography). Here are a few pictures:

the good shepherd, unknown Dutch artist, around 1560
"Summer Solstice Spitfire" by Brian Clarke, 2016
by Alfred Manessier, 1976
what is it?
...a giant kaleidoscope!!
