From the terrace of the castle gardens in Heidelberg, you can enjoy a view over the old town and the castle ruins. In late September and October, the Sun will set in a perfect spot between the mountain Heiligenberg and the castle, illuminating the city. It is one of the most visited spots for tourists and natives.

This picture is cropped from a much wider panoramic shot that extends further to the right.

Ever wonder why they're blue? Deception, really. Glacial ice goes through hundreds and thousands of years of freezing and compression. This compression causes air to remove itself from the ice. Air bubbles create a scattering effect when light passes through it. When the ice is devoid of these air bubbles, light may pass through undisturbed, and as light passes, all the colors of the spectrum, save blue, are effectively absorbed. This creates the illusion that the ice is blue. Another "cool" thing is that this ice melts six times slower than that of freezer box ice. Now, throw that in your rum and coke...

Klöntalersee is a natural lake in the Canton of Glarus, Switzerland. Since 1908, it has been used as a reservoir for electricity production. The dam's construction substantially increased the lake's volume.

This is certainly one of my favorite lakes in Switzerland!
