Here are some impressions from Wednesday.
The monument with the sun is “Basler Münster”, around which the laterns are on display from Monday evening until Wednesday morning. The black and white towers are “Roche” headquarter (pharmacy) and the building in the city is “Haus Sodeck”.
This year’s carnival motto was “Blyyb verspiilt” (stay playful). I hope we all find some lovely moments even when times are rough.
“OM” are the optimists with black-and-white musicians and some colorful masks in between. They state, that it’s worth trying to stay optimistic, knowing it’s hard and we all have a pessimistic side.

May love guide us, compassion unite us, and peace belong to us all.
