Day Twenty-Six of ORCA in Switzerland – Playing With 360 Video

Gimel’s Ingress Mission
The views as I drove up to this ingress mission were beautiful. I could clearly see the Jet D’eau in Geneva and the streets of Lausanne on the other side. I could see how light was playing with clouds to provide enjoyable views. Gimel is a village/town in the Jura surrounded by forest and fields. […]
