Chapel Bridge and the Water Tower - Lucern, Switzerland -- Lucerne is divided by the river Reuss into an Old Town and a New Town. The two districts are connected by what is among other things the world's oldest covered wooden bridge, the Chapel Bridge, which dates back to the year 1332. The bridge was rebuilt true to the original after the fire of 1993 and leads to the actual landmark of Lucerne, the octagonal Water Tower. Like the over 500-year-old Musegg Wall with its turrets, the bridge and water tower were part of the city fortifications. Please view full size

The photo has a little of everything in it Doc. So much to look at and take in. Colors are wonderful. The is so much detail that it takes a while to let it all sink in.
What a great trip you are sharing with us.
