Meyrin, Switzerland, 2012

I got a very brief chance to take a few pictures in Meyrin this afternoon. I decided that sixteen chaotic people swimming in a space usually reserved for six orderly swimmers was just not for me today. So instead I took care of an errand while Alessandra braved the waters. After that, I had enough time to slow down and take four pictures before she came out of the pool. As I've said before, sometimes that's just the way it is.

The town of Meyrin is mostly urban refugees, it's almost all highrise apartment blocks like the ones in this picture. They are so bland that they almost look like office buildings, especially on the window side (as opposed to the balcony side). The building on the left (extreme diagonal) is the showing the window side. The two face on, behind the Shell station are showing us their balconies. Not much of an improvement.

The other side of Meyrin, the surrounding area, is mostly farmland. I think that is true of all smaller European towns, at least ones situated in arable land. That part can be quite picturesque. Even this location has it's downside, it's between the highrises (to the left, a bit away), and the airport (immediately to the right).
