EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Basel's vibrant cityscape, as a long exposure reveals a mesmerizing scene. The focal point is an enchanting ferris wheel gracefully spinning beside the iconic Muenster church, which stands proudly on the banks of the majestic Rhine river. Taken on November 8,2012, during Basels annual Herbstmesse fair, this image showcases the town's lively atmosphere and rich cultural heritage. The composition offers a unique perspective with its low angle view that emphasizes the grandeur of both the ferris wheel and the Muenster church. Against a backdrop of pink-hued skies and illuminated buildings, this photograph beautifully juxtaposes modernity with tradition. The contrast between black and light lighting further enhances this visual spectacle. As darkness falls over Basel's old town, time seems to stand still in this long exposure shot. The movement captured within the picture adds an element of dynamism to an otherwise serene setting. With no people present in frame, viewers are invited to appreciate not only the architectural marvels but also indulge in their own contemplative moments. Arnd Wiegmann skillfully encapsulates both religious symbolism and urban charm through his creative use of photography techniques. This image serves as a reminder that even amidst bustling city life, there are spaces for relaxation and celebration where history intertwines harmoniously with contemporary living.
