Beautiful picture looking out of the chemistry building at the University of Freiburg in Freiburg Germany. The old cathedral can be seen in the distance with a backdrop of a blue sky with clouds and distant foothills of the black forrest with fall colors showing through in the trees picture of the Münster at dawn in the Altstadt of Freiburg, Germany, with a still dark sky in the background and moon over the Münster, in the foreground a well-lit flowers stand can be seen preparing for the daily morning market
