Fleeting moments and street life in Malacca, Malaysia 🇲🇾.
Captured in a quiet alley off Jonker Street, I became fascinated by this man diligently sweeping the pavement. Malacca holds so many old traditions, but I wonder how many from the younger generation are willing to keep them alive.
Malaysia sits almost right on the Equator, and the sun is usually overhead and harsh, with golden hour over very quickly. One thing I’ve learned is to switch my camera to highlight-weighted metering and just embrace the hard light - expose for the highlights, and let the shadows fall into darkness. An added bonus: you get those nice, rich, saturated colours!

Ein Hauch Nostalgie inmitten der Altstadt.

Entstehung: Es stammt aus der Zeit um 1256 und war eines der ersten großen Stadttore. Rheinfelden hat ja ab Mitte des 13. Jahrhunderts angefangen, seine Stadtmauer massiv auszubauen.
Lage: Das Obertor steht auf der Nordwestseite der Altstadt, also auf der Seite Richtung Basel. Es war quasi der Haupteingang für Reisende und Händler, die von Basel kamen.
Aussehen:
Der Turm ist quadratisch und wuchtig gebaut, wie ein klassischer Wehrturm.
Oben findest du ein Spitzdach, dazu Schießscharten und gotische Fenster.
Besonders auffällig: das Rheinfelder Stadtwappen und die Uhr am Turm.
Früher war es Teil einer ganzen Toranlage mit Fallgitter, Vortor und Zwinger.
Funktion:
Militärisch: Kontrolle des Stadtzugangs, Abwehr von Angreifern.
Wirtschaftlich: Zollerhebung, wer mit Waren in die Stadt wollte, musste am Obertor durch.
Symbolisch: Es zeigte Stärke und Selbstbewusstsein der Stadt gegenüber Reisenden.
Heute:
Es ist eines der Wahrzeichen von Rheinfelden und steht unter Denkmalschutz.
Du kannst es von außen frei besichtigen, innen ist es aber nicht dauerhaft zugänglich wie ein Museumsturm.
Vor allem nachts, wenn’s beleuchtet ist, wirkt es ziemlich mystisch.
👉 Fun Fact: Das Obertor war so etwas wie das „Stadtschild“ Rheinfeldens – wer früher vom Baselbiet herkam, musste hier durch, und der erste Eindruck war eben dieser Turm.
