Throwback-Thursday in Basel: Längst vorbei ist die Zeit der O-Busse in Basel - am 30. Juni 2008 wurde die letzte Linie auf Dieselbetrieb umgestellt. Gut 20 Jahre vorher war Tr 51 Nr. 358 als Linie 33 nahe des badischen Bahnhofs auf Wendefahrt, gefolgt von einem Standardwagen-Gespann.
Basel ist eine Schweizer Grossstadt sowie Hauptort des Kantons Basel-Stadt, der ausserdem die Gemeinden Riehen und Bettingen umfasst. Nach Zürich und Genf ist Basel mit 176'329 Einwohnern die drittgrösste Stadt der Schweiz. Wikipedia
Trying some new color grades. Very likely that I will think in a few weeks that I went a bit overboard with this one. But fits for now :)
I rarely photograph everyday scenes, and if so, even more rarely with people in them. Walked by this alley in Basel which has a lot of charm with all the greenery along and on the houses. Then this lady arrived which seemingly just finished her run, got herself soaking wet in the fountain to the right of the scene and walked through the alley. Of course, I couldn't let this one pass.
Excerpt from basel.com:
Today, you can comfortably walk from the Kunstmuseum across the Wettsteinbrücke to Museum Tinguely and – on hot days – float down the river beneath the bridge, and you can also travel directly by tram, car or bicycle from the main railway station (Bahnhof SBB) to the German railway station (Badischer Bahnhof) or vice versa. Tip: From the bridge you get a great view of Basel's cathedral – don't forget your camera!
Because of the difference in elevation between Grossbasel and Kleinbasel, the bridge used to be known as the “sloping bridge of Basel” in former times – a humorous allusion to the Leaning Tower of Pisa. It takes its real name in homage to the former mayor, Johann Rudolf Wettstein (1594 – 1666).
