Rural Oregon

Grave Creek covered bridge was built in 1920, and restored several years ago.





Victorian house in the town of Drain. Note the lovely, homogenous second-growth forest, in the background. Only some 3% of Oregon's old-growth forests remain.

Luzern

Luzern is somewhere close to paradise. In the 14th Century, it helped lead central Switzerland to independence from the Hapsburgs. Today, with good reason, it is a popular tourist destination.

Behind the town is the 7000 foot Pilatus.



The posh waterfront.



The KKL, or Culture and Congress Centre, was designed by Jean Nouvel, and opened in 1998.
