This splendid night photograph captures Zurich's skyline with its illuminated bell towers reflected in the calm waters of the Limmat River. In the center of the image, the Fraumunster spire and St. Peter's bell tower with its large clock can be recognized, both illuminated by beams of light projecting towards the sky. Historic buildings on both banks of the river feature illuminated windows creating a mosaic of lights reflected on the water. The long photographic exposure has made the Limmat waters like a perfect mirror, doubling the magic of the night scene.
