Your righteousness is like the mighty mountains,
Your judgments are like the great deep (Ps 36.6)
If you have a view of the lake, know that it will “hide out” from time to time. Wife, about 15 years ago, met some neighbors that had moved here from Germany. They had a great apartment with a wonderful view of… the fog. For their first 30 days here they never saw the lake, not even once, though it was less than two miles away and they towered 600 feet above it. Then one morning the sun broke through and they had a splendid view. Yes, splendid!
Evian is on the other side of Lake Leman from us, and the French Alps rocket straigh up to around 8,000 feet behind that lake-side city. More towards Geneva, peeking through the valleys, you can see Mont Blanc rising 15,780 feet above sea level. But the most wonderful views are towards the southeast, in the Canton of Valais, where glaciers and the Rhone river have cut a narrow path leading to Italy.
Behind us are the Jura mountains. They climb to about 5000 feet and are covered with snow this winter. Lausanne is a beautiful place to visit. So come see us.
