Night view of the Reuss River and Lucerne old town from Reussteg street

A long exposure night shot captures the magic of the Reuss River as it flows through the historic center of Lucerne. The water takes on turquoise and silver tones thanks to the fluid movement created by the photographic technique. On the right, the historic buildings of the old town are lit by warm lights that reflect on the river surface. In the distance, church towers and medieval walls that once protected the city can be seen. The twilight sky fades from deep blue to purple, dotted with the first stars of the evening. The walk along Reussteg offers one of the most evocative perspectives on nocturnal Lucerne.
