Hues of Soft Pink

The Eole

created by Clelia Bettua,

is a large, semi-circular wind vane with a diameter of 20 metres

by the lakeside at Ouchy Port.

It follows the prevailing wind direction

and four monoliths located at a distance of 150 metres

enable this work of art to be read.

You can check the direction of the wind by combining the semi-circle of the vane

with the semi-circles carved into the stone.

The wind blowing when this photo was taken

is simply called 'Le Vent'.

It's a south-westerly wind, very common in the summer.

Coming into port at sunset.

Three birds in a row

perched at the very top of these masts.

I shall be away for about a week to go up into the mountains

to attend my son's August wedding!
