Some old-style stuff to come again in my next short series. This is the old town of Zürich, the Swiss financial capital.
I used Photoscape for the sepia tones, antique effect and framing.

Zürich (German: Zürich (help·info) IPA: [ˈtsyːʁɪç], Zürich German: Züri [ˈtsyɾi], French: Zurich [zyʁik], Italian: Zurigo [dzuˈɾiːgo]; in English generally Zurich /ˈzjuːrɪk/, /ˈzuːrɪk/, or /ˈzəːrɪk/) is the largest city in Switzerland and the capital of the canton of Zürich. The city is Switzerland's main commercial and cultural centre and sometimes called the Cultural Capital of Switzerland, the political capital of Switzerland being Berne. Zürich can be counted as one of the world's pre-eminent global cities. According to several surveys from 2006 to 2008, Zürich was named the city with the best quality of life in the world as well as the wealthiest city in Europe.

Good Morning Kristof,

Your pp work hits the spot!
This does look like an old postcard.
The buildings frame the church well and the scene is clear and sharp.

Kind regards,
Bev :-)

Hi Kristof,
Awesome presentation! The PP work is excellent on this shot, suits very well. Looks as if it has been sitting in a drawer for 100 years! Impressive post my friend.

Hi Kristof,
Nicely presented in an antique frame , the treatment of this photo in old sepia looks good ,it's like i am seeing a quarter of the city in an old scratchy print being revived from the 50's.Good stuff my friend .
Zurich is beautiful and it is certainly all it is you say about it in your note,
tfs,
Carol
