On advertising and how it has degraded the viewer’s experience

Lac de Joux, not quite frozen over
Reading Time: < 1 minuteThese images were taken with the Nokia N9. You can see how the lake has not frozen over. The berries are an amusing sight. You’d expect them in spring or summer rather than winter. [flickr-gallery mode=”photoset” photoset=”72157629184752891″]
