Early in my experience with digital cameras my wife and I took a cruise on the Rhine and Moselle rivers. I had an Olympus C4040 at the time. 4 megapixels and 3 to 1 zoom. The day we did the cruise down the Rhine to view all the old castles, it was gloomy and dark. I was in general disappointed with the images. We started with a couple days in Lucerne Switzerland with a tour up into the mountains.

This morning I started looking at them in the light of what I've learned about post processing since then. I decided I could improve them enough to make it worthwhile to post a few sets of them here.

As in my recent posting of images from Ireland, they are in no particular order.

#1 a valley in Switzerland... Shades of Heidi!

#2 A view of Heidelberg from the castle above.

#3 A swiss valley with waterfall.

#4 Resort area in Switzerland.

#5 Inside of a Cathedral. Pink limestone is found in this area.

#6 A castle undergoing restoration.

#7 In the city of Strasbourg

#8 View along a canal in Strasbourg.

Wonderful pictures. Architecture as it was meant to be. I wish America's architects would take a page from the European book of architecture and give us something to enjoy looking at, rather than the downright ugly and boring city buildings we are faced with.

By the way, Heidelberg is spelled as I have spelled it here, the ultimate syllable BERG meaning hill or mountain. BURG means castle. Although there is a castle in Heidelberg, the town is on a hill, therefore the BERG ending.

These are wonderful.
... and spectacular argument against wholesale deletes...

Thanks for sharing and the interesting sidenote-

Great photos. We diid a Rhine Viking cruise last spring and were in many of the same places. I had a Panasonic Lumix z1000 and it's higher resolution and 4K video gave great results.
