Flash floods in Lausanne

Valentin Flauraud

Weather is a recurring theme in our daily discussions, yet not necessarily a news worthy one. This summer in Lausanne as I was enjoying a dinner with a friend, flash floods of unexpected intensity hit Lausanne during the night and definitely made the headlines for the upcoming days. Visiting the city with a camera I borrowed at the last minute, I rediscovered the places I walk through every day.
