I took this picture a couple of weeks ago during one of my early morning walks through Basel's city center. I love capturing shots in the early morning or late afternoon when places are quiet and you get to enjoy the small things that make them what they are — like a gravel pétanque court scattered with pigeons, a lone person sitting quietly on a bench, a bare winter tree, and the twin spires of the Münster poking up above the rooftops in the background. The light made it impossible not to stop and take a photo.

It's one of those scenes that feels completely unhurried, which is something I really appreciate about this city.
