Jet d'eau

Jumping back in time a few months to a recent business trip to Switzerland (but I managed a few free hours in Geneva, so I took a wander around the city).
I've been to Switzerland a few times, but my only prior experience of Geneva was the airport, so it was nice to get a look at the city itself (actually I've got more photos & must go through them some time).
The Jet d'Eau is a fountain on Lac Leman (Lake Geneva), it's a symbol of the city but is sometimes switched off in certain wind conditions. In fact on this day that's exactly what happened, the fountain was off, then all of a sudden it started up. Apparently the water can reach a height of 140 metres...
