Bremen's Market Square is regarded as one of the most beautiful in Europe. Its ensemble of historic buildings is unique and consists of the Town Hall, dating from 1405, St Peter's Cathedral, begun in 1042, the "Schütting", Bremen's historic Chamber of Commerce built in 1537, the merchants' houses that date back to the Weser Renaissance era around 1600, and the statue of Roland, the symbol of the city's freedom, erected in 1404. The modern "Haus der Bürgerschaft", Bremen's state parliament building, was built in 1966 and forms a sensitive counterpoint to the rest of the square. I took three pictures, and put them toghether. They were made with the Panasonic without a tripod or other support. The reflections on the pavement are caused by the rain that had just stopped for a while and the tram rails. Fortunately in a night photo you can't see the wires crisscrossing the sky. I hope I succeeded in capturing the magic of this wonderful square. Unfortunately Roland can't be seen in the dark. I'll post him in the future, as well as a view of the square in daylight. Thank you for your kind comments.
