Pfeiferbrunnen in Bern, verderop de Käfigturm 1919 - 1930

This anonymous photograph captures the Pfeiferbrunnen in Bern with the Käfigturm in the background. I'm thinking about the labor involved to make this image. The photographer carefully composing the scene, then waiting for the exact right moment. I imagine them looking through the lens, trying to capture not just the fountain and tower but also the energy of the city. The sepia tone gives it an old-timey vibe, like a memory fading into the past. It reminds me of how we try to freeze moments in our own lives, how we grasp at something solid in the flow of time. It makes me think about the layers of history and how the past informs the present. It's a quiet meditation on time, memory, and the human desire to capture it all.
