I’ve decided not to take photos of the usual things one sees when visiting tourist destinations, since someone else has already done it, and better! Delivery drivers, folks going about their routine, and signage all conspire against atmosphere. I’ll buy the postcard as a souvenir and take pictures of the quirky things related to my interests!
Since fashion is one of my interests, I’ve snapped some interesting store windows during the morning spent in Freiburg.
#3 a colourful display of shoes - the narrow pedestrian walkway had several (6 or 7) different shoe stores side by side and across from each other!
PS: it being a weekend, locals were out shopping the markets in their casual urban weekend wear. Temps were just above freezing, so warm coats and puffers were the order of the day. Freiburg (and Breisach) are smaller than Basel. Freiburg is definitely urban, and Breisach about the size of my hometown at a reported 13,500. Saw more colour - teal and mustard seems popular. Also olive and rust/orange. The fellow who lead our tour group wore mustard wide wale corduroys, cognac leather shoes and leather jacket over a Shetland style sweater (multicolours on grey background) and an olive muffler. His hair was longer, but above the shoulders - corkscrew dark golden blonde curls with blue eyes and a strong Roman nose!
