Parapet and Hillside

Parapet and Hillside

It was sufficiently hot on our trip to Basel that we couldn't really go for a proper walk. Instead Andrew drove us up the hill above Aesch to a castle ruin, and we had a brief stroll around there. This shot just presented itself - the parapet is being reclaimed by the vines and trees, and the descending hillside in the background provides a nice counterpoint I think. One could say something here about man's transient and brief impact on the earth but I'll leave all of that stuff to the philosophers.
