A few weeks ago, Basel experienced an unusually chilly couple of days, including a particularly frosty weekend that gave us a fresh layer of snow. This wintry weather was the perfect excuse to enjoy classic winter activities such as crafting snowmen, engaging in friendly snowball battles, and enjoying some fun ice sliding.

The following day was bright and sunny, but the lingering cold ensured the snow stuck around a bit longer. These moments presented some interesting photo opportunities, such as the one captured in the image above. The photo shows the sun's rays creating interesting patterns on the snowy rooftop.
