Photographer’s Note

This is a stitch of 16 images taken from the Basel cathedral and showing a view of Glaibasel (Kleinbasel, name of the part of Basel situated in the inner curve of the Rhine).

To the left you can see the industrial area dominated by the Novartis Company Headquarters and the St Johann Harbour installations. Then all the center area right of the bridges is used by housing and commercial streets, the houses next to the Rhine go for sky high prices. The big red tower in the middle is a housing tower, while the dark one more to the right is where the exhibition grounds are located, this is the most recent addition to the Basel skyline and it hosts offices and a hotel. A few chimneys here and there remind that Basel together with its area is an important swiss industrial center.
