The image displays a close-up, low-angle view of the upper sections of the Basel Town Hall (Rathaus) tower in Basel, Switzerland, set against a clear blue sky. The tower is constructed primarily from reddish-pink sandstone. Its prominent main roof is steeply pitched and covered with multi-colored ceramic tiles arranged in a distinct pattern, featuring shades of red, white, green, and blue. A golden finial tops the main spire, along with a small, golden flag-like weather vane. Below the main spire, a gilded, ornate structure encloses two dark bells, forming a belfry. Three smaller, pointed spires, also covered in patterned tiles, are positioned at the corners of the upper tower section, each capped with a golden finial. Below the roofline, the tower features an upper level with several arched windows framed in green, accentuated by yellow and blue decorative elements. Below this, rectangular windows with dark panes are visible on the main facade. White, layered, shell-like architectural details are present at the corners and beneath some windows, contrasting with the reddish stone. Blue and gold trim further adorn the building's facade. A partial mural or painting, predominantly light brown and black, is visible on the lower right side of the tower. No people, subjects, or actions are depicted. The environment consists solely of a bright blue sky with minimal cloud cover.
