"Face behind the mask.'

During the Basler Fasnacht (carnival of Basel) it can be a pleasant surprise to see who is behind a mask. Especially if that mask, called a Larve in Basel, has the face of an Alti Dante, an old spinster. Photo Paul Smit.

'Fool at the Rhine.'

Along the Rhine (Rhein) the Basler Fasnacht (carnival of Basel) lives through some its most beautiful moments when the sun sets behind the Münster church. I followed this fool for half an hour when he walked through the old streets, along the river and over the bridges. He didn't stop piping. As a real Basler he knew what Fasnacht was about: scaring the winter away! Photo Paul Smit.

Smit & Palarczyk > [GERMANY.BAWU 00740] 'Lenkbrunnen.' Everybody seems to enjoy himself in and around the Lenkbrunnen, a fountain at the lakeside promenade of Überlingen. It's called after Peter Lenk, who sculpted it . Photo Paul Smit.
Smit & Palarczyk > [GERMANY.BAWU 00801] 'Fountain in Konstanz.' Is Peter Lenk a curse or a blessing? Like with this fountain at the Laube in Konstanz he creates hot dispute all around the Bodensee. Some say his work is amusing, others are profoundly shocked. Photo Paul Smit.
