Vevey old town

Had a wander through the lovely old town of Vevey this morning before heading to the lake to look at a photographic exhibition.

The exhibition was of glaciers in Europe and the huge cloths they are using to cover the glaciers to try to reduce the amount they are receding. It is a controversial technique because although it may work for a short period of time the amount of cloth that is used, and then sometimes abandoned,  is quite disturbing. The photos are mainly of the glaciers covered in cloth or the damaged cloth afterwards. Search for Rhone glacier cloth for some examples.
