Very intense night shot! The colors are awsome and the sofness of the plane areas like the sky excelent. Also the stars made by the lights are very well managed.

A note would be nice because that church seems interesting.

Very beautiful picture. Multiple light reflects are very well rendered and the composition is well done. You've managed to capture it without having any trouble (car or human) during 15 sec. Very nice shot !

And now it is p e r f e c t !
Very well done !

Very nice picture of Basel! This is the "Fasnachts-fountain" or "Tinguely-fountain" created by our famous Swiss artist Jean Tinguely who is known for his moving metal objects. There is also a Tinguely Museum in Basel. He was the husband of Niki de Saint Phalle, the French artist reknown for her very colourful sculptures, especially her big "Nanas". Together they built a fountain quite similar to this one, the Stravinsky fountain in Paris, which is very famous. It features kinetic figures like the 3firebird3 or a big lip.
About the church in the back I can only say it's called the Barfüsser church, the Historic museum and Basel's Münster-treasure are located in it.
You were very lucky to have no people on the photo! Beautiful sky and clear colours, well done!

very nice picture
