The elegant corner tower of a Gründerzeit commercial building in Halle's old town: a white clock with Roman numerals sits above a richly ornamented round-arched window, crowned by a zinc dome with an octagonal lantern and weather vane. The sandstone-coloured facade features pilasters, cornices, and acanthus-leaf ornaments — quintessential Gründerzeit craftsmanship. Captured with the Canon 5DS R at 70mm and ƒ/3.2, isolating the tower against the deep blue summer sky with a single cumulus cloud.
