Highland Games in Switzerland

Here are a few photos of the Highland Games held in Switzerland.

The place was packed and we had a lot of fun. Many athletes were present but it was so hard to get close to them that there is practically no photos of them here. A lot of special characters, though, as you may see...

Here we go !






























more to come !

Fantastic pictures Robert - just loved the 'Specials'! I always amazes me how good the Highland Games are outside of Scotland.

Regards

Chas

I love seeing your photos, Robert. You travel in very different environments than I am used to which is enlightening, you have an eye for detail and aesthetic beauty as evidenced by your own deportment alone and your family harbours and expresses a joie de vivre which is charming and infectious. Thank-you for sharing.
