Scene of the Lavaux swiss vineyards on the shore of the lake Geneva, in winter after a light snowfall.
Lavaux is one of Switzerland's most celebrated wine-growing regions. The vineyards, many of which have been owned by the same families for generations, are perched on terraced hillsides above Lac Léman (also known as Lake Geneva) between Lausanne and Vevey, with the swiss Alps as dramatic background. Lavaux's geographical situation is so unique that the Vignoble de Lavaux has been included in the UNESCO's World Heritage List. This is an image of the surrealistic appearence of the vineyards when light snowfalls occur in the area, giving to the place an monochromatic aspect.
