This is the last video of my tour that I want to add to my collection and to share with you all. This video is a mixture of some colourful places that I visited in Brussels and Switzerland. First you will see an amazing scenic view near Interlaken which is also famous for some movie sets. After that you will see Lake Zurich and the surrounding area. There were lots of birds and swans with boats in the lake which looked really beautiful. You can also see some mountains with ice caps at a distance. The gliding in the Interlaken city centre was also really spectacular. Next you will see at 3.03 mins the Atomium in Brussels which was indeed very special and unique to see. At the end you can see a mixture of photos of Interlaken, Zurich and Geneva. The Broken Chair monument, the Flower Clock for all seasons and the United Nations in Geneva is a special attraction. The Lion monument and the spectacular wooden bridge is a must see venue in Lucerne. The worlds biggest roundabout was also so intriguing in Paris. My very special thanks to all of you who spent your time watching these videos and who were kind and generous enough to pen a few words. Take care my dear friends and all the very best always :) The Broken Chair Genewa ===================== Across from United Nations European Headquarters at the Palais de Nations in Geneva, Switzerland sits a poignant memorial to victims of landmines and cluster bombs. The Broken Chair monument which stands 12 metres high, was designed by renowned sculptor Daniel Berset in 1997 at the request of Handicap International ... This image has been around the world and is now regarded as one of the most iconic pieces of 21st century art. Its message is simple: remember the plight of landmine victims and encourage States to commit themselves to the prohibition of cluster munitions. To illustrate this battle, the Broken Chair has only three legs with the fourth being broken halfway up. Despite this, it stands tall and proud and, with a height of 12 metres, is impressive in its dignity. Flower Clock ========== Geneva is recognized all around the world for it's watch making tradition, being the mother of high-end watchmaking. To pay tribute to this honor, Geneva created the biggest clock in the world, made from flowers. Geneva Flower Clock, named L'horloge fleurie in French, created in 1955, soon became world famous, one of the main attraction of the city. Interestingly, clock always look different, as they are made of various flowers which bloom in different times in the year..
