Winter in Versoix

Since last week, Versoix became very famous because of its impressive natural "ice sculptures" ... Apparently, every year it is the same : the combination of very cold weather, wind, the location of Versoix (near the lake and probably in a "wind corridor"), and the fact that people park their car at the wrong place at the wrong moment, gives the result shown on the pictures below. It is quite impressive, and actually, it attracts a lot of people - amateur photographers mainly. If you manage to not loose a foot or a bunch of fingers because of the cold, then it's a nice thing to do ...

Probably most of those living close to Geneva have seen these pictures, as they have circulated on (a-)social networks. Made by professionals, so much better than these !
No more words : I let the pictures speak for themselves ...
