The wind blew hard and temperatures were unseasonably cold Tuesday 9 March, with the high in Geneva -3C. The result was a spectacular but dangerous display of waves and ice along the city's lakefront. Photos here by Peter Brodbeck for GenevaLunch. GenevaLunch article on ice, winds

From the pre-Fasnacht warmup on Sunday to the wee hours of the morning parade in the dark, and on to the first day's 12 km of marching "cliques" or groups, with their wonderful costumes and masks: this is one of the best events in Europe in the winter.

Photos by Peter Brodbeck (©2010 P Brodbeck): Geneva police come to the rescue of a swan trapped by a line from a boat in Geneva's harbour. Other swans attacked the trapped bird and began to bite, but were held at bay until police could save the swan. It was their second swan rescue of the day!

Pumpkins love our Swiss Alps garden at the best of times: a wheelbarrow's worth of dried manure from the farmer next door, a handful of pumpkin seeds and they grow like mad, running down the slope. This year was exceptionally dry and sunny, and the pumpkins, all 60 or so of them, loved it!

Early October is the perfect time to buy wild grasses because you can see what they look like at their best, with a wide range of colours, textures, shapes. This is a collection of images from an afternoon at Schilliger Garden Centre in Gland, canton Vaud, with a couple shots of grasses growing in my garden in the Alps, and mixed with dried oregano in a vase - lovely all winter!

[...] Morges, Vaud, Switzerland (GenevaLunch) – Hundred-year-old eggs are not part of the daily diet in China, but they are not considered odd, and eau-de-vie de viper, or brandy with a snake in it, might pass in some parts of France as a sensible way of getting rid of your fear of snakes. In Switzerland, both are unusual. Morges this weekend is offering lessons to the brave or curious on how to unlearn cultural notions about food and drink, with Jean Michel Durivault leading workshops on how our taste buds work (photo album from Morges Aliment bizarres workshop).
