The sun stayed out for the most part on my third and final day in Basel. I had followed some of the traces of the Bernoulli family in the city, but that’ll be the makings for another post at another time.
720am, in front of Basel SBB central station.
On the morning tram.
Dreiländereck (3-nations corner), from the Basel side. 18-metre high pylon by Wilhelm Münger, 1957.
From the pylon about 150 metres to the northwest (left-centre) in the river waters of the Rhine is the geographical triple-point: France 🇫🇷 to the left, Germany 🇩🇪 to the right, and Switzerland 🇨🇭 where I’m standing.
“Soli Deo Gloria: zur St. Ursula.” Plus morning coffee, and a curious figure on the balcony.
Morning sun on the west bank of the Rhine.
“Sitzende Helvetia” (Helvetia sitting), by Bettina Eichen, 1942. Visible are her cloak, spear, suitcase, and shield with the Swiss cross.
Totengässlein.
Augustinergasse, towards the Münster.
So long, Basel. That’s also the band’s name: “So Long”; they’re good.
I made all photos above with an iPhone15 on 27 Jul 2024. I received no support from an external organization. This post composed with Jetpack for iOS appears on Fotoeins Fotografie at fotoeins DOT com.
