Photographer's Note
Basel Münsterplatz
The Marktplatz, where the Basel Town Hall is found, was quite busy, but a little further the town was much more quiet and a calm autumn mood prevailed at Münsterplatz (Minster Square), where also, although not in this photo, the Basel Minster is found. It is one of the oldest squares in the city, it was probably already inhabited in Roman times, due to its elevated location close to the Rhine, even though the square itself was constructed much later.

Hi dear Lars
So stunningly sharp and clear postcard image. Vivid color touch and fresh contarst is so eye-cathing. White walls against the sax blue sky is striking.
All the best and have a good day! Takero

Hej Lars,
Vilket trevligt torg. Alla byggnaderna är lite olika varandra, och ändå passar de perfekt ihop. Olikheterna skapar både charm och lite spänning. Det förvånar mig att det inte finns en stor fontän eller staty mitt på torget, men öppenheten och tomheten ger oss en ostörd överblick. Det är en fantastiskt klar och fin bild med perfekta färger.
Hälsningar,
Gert

Hi Lars
A delightful shot of a charming old town square with magnificent white-washed buildings stealing the show which is wisely taken on a brill soft morning autumn light! You are right to include those figs where the eye is also drawn to, as well to keep the main interest more lively. The overall contrast of white, brown tone and blue sky is more than satisfactory.
Actually there's so much detail rendered to strengthen the whole capture. This is a well performed quality shot, very coool on the eye! and thks to the infor notes. Congrats
Best regards

Hi Lars
A good capture of this attractive flagstone square, with the people at right and in the bg adding scale and animating the scene. Nice warm cold colour contrasts between the blue sky and red roofs. Tfs!

Hi Lars,
The wideness of the square is giving depth to the composition. The point of view is showing the details of the buildings. The light is enhancing the colours. Have a nice day.

Hi Lars,
this is a very charming square which is probably frequently overlooked because there are so many other attractive places there but it does deserve a special attention as you have well showed here.
The same style architecture works so neatly.
Beautiful spot. I suppose most of people look towards cathedral and they miss this lovely view.
Very well exposed in spite of difficult white color if the houses.
Fantastic weather with great blue sky.
Excellent work!

Hello lars,
I remember this square well. We stopped here to have a leisurely drink before continuing our explorations!
You have shown its cobbled foreground well, suggesting its historical nature.
Those tall, small-windowed houses are so full of character. With the many windows in the roofs, they remind me of house in the Alsace region.
You had a lovely day for mid-October, bright but with a lowish sun for good shadows.
My warm regards,
Bev :-)

BOnjour Lars,
J'ai eu le plaisir de voir cette très belle place de Bâle et je m'en souviens comme si c'était hier. Les habitations toutes blanches autour sont toutes plus belles les unes que les autres.
Amicalement

Hello Lars,
A fascinating and most informative note and a delightful photograph to accompany it!
The composition here is both perfect and also very pleasing and makes the most of the lighting and the actual direction of the light at this particular time of day. Your exposure is perfect, the colours true and the details and sharpness are exquisite. And, of course, the inclusion of quite a few other visitors animates the image as well as giving a fine sense of scale.
Beautiful!

Lars, beautiful plazza surrounded by old houses. There were few people in the square at the time of the photo but i suppose it is a meeting point in Basel. Nice autumn colors, good image quality, instructive photo note, regards.

Hello Lars,
This square is the opposite of the town hall, with hardly any color, but I can feel the age and history from this view. The buildings are elegant, and I like the cobblestones, too. This square has a more subdued feeling to it.

Dag Lars,
Hier toont Bazel zich als een aardig provinciestadje en lijkt dit niet het plein waar je rijke architectuur verwacht die op je vorige foto’s zichtbaar is. Dit lijkt meer een dorpsplein.
Groet Rob
