One of the most photogenic motifs in the historic tanner's quarter "La Petite France" in Strasbourg: Idyllic half-timbered houses, window fronts and terraces splendidly decorated with flowers directly on the water of the Ill, photographed near the Pont Saint-Martin bridge.
The view from or near the Pont Saint-Martin bridge captures the historic half-timbered ensemble including its reflections in the river (Ill).
Incorporation of foreground elements (like the bridge arch on the left in the picture) provides more depth in the photo.
