A photo I took in Bern, Switzerland a few days ago. It was cold and the street was icy. The beautiful old town on the peninsula surrounded by the river Aare is an UNESCO cultural heritage. I like it very much and it is very photogenic, even on cold and gray days.

Bern, Gerechtigkeitsgasse

I really had a hard time with this photo. There are so many subjects in here which could have survived fine as their own (cropped) photo perfectly.

• The girl crossing the street (you can even see the white in her eyes at full resolution).
• The bernese facade of the houses, including the christmas trees.
• The two man carrying the christmas tree over the street.
• The typical bernese chimneys.
• Or just he high heels on the icy ground.

Nevertheless I decided to leave it as it is. This is the original framing.
