Place des Nations

if you're familiar with Geneva, you'll know that across from the UN is the so-called 'UN square', a place where people can demonstrate against human rights problems in [insert country name], a new resolution, you name it.

after 2 years of renovation, it was finally opened to the public again. the Chair is back (symbolising land mines, as it only has 3 legs, the 4th one being a broken stump), which is good, but i'm not sure i like what they've done with the place. oh sure, it's all very grand but the marble, fountains and benches are all a bit too much for me. i liked it a lot better when it was just one big grassy area...
