Ouchy Swans

Near the boats in the picture from the previous post is this giant "C" at the Ouchy Harbor. I've not yet figured out what this is...art? a nautical sign? a wind meter? the last remaining letter from a giant German spelling of Switzerland...die sChweiz? And though I'm not positive, I think it swings around. I've not witnessed this, but it's like one of those old paintings with the eyeballs, where you look once and they are looking right, but upon next glance they are gazing left.

In and around the harbor can be found a multitude of swans. Who knows why. They are probably just the European version of the Canadian goose, just dressed a little better. And these are not the only birds nearby. I've been awakened several mornings by the lovely...achem...song of the crow, and I've been attacked (eg Newman in Jurassic Park, sans death) by dozens of little bitty birds out on the lake walk. Who knew they were such fans of kebab and gelato?
