(Infra)red Hot Basel: from Birs Insel to the City Center

By Artborghi @artborghi

Join us in this white hot weekend to Basel, Switzerland. All picture shot in the far red (infrared) environment, where 1) white objects and photosynthetic tissues reflect wavelengths invisible to human eye and 2) waters turn black

On the Birs Kraftwerk island a dam cuts through the river Rhine to produce energy

A view on the river Rhine towards Basel from the top of the dam
