Hamburg-Blankenese, Germany. January 2009.
After the last posts were all focused on aircraft, I thought it was about time for something different again. So here is a shot from one of Hamburg’s most beautiful spots, Blankenese. Taken from the lighthouse in the river Elbe, on a glorious sunday afternoon in January.
Hamburg, Germany. May 2008.
This is an aerial view of the 819th Port of Hamburg Anniversary. I took the picture out of the Condor B757 that brought us back from our Crete vacation. The pilot circled twice over the port, offering us a most spectacular view. In this picture, you can see – among others – the cruise ship “Brilliance of the Seas”, frigates “Blas de Lezo” and “Vasco da Gama”, and the Russian clippers “Kruzenshtern” and “Sedov”.

Hamburg, Germany. June 2007.
The port never sleeps. Daylight is replaced by thousands of lamps, so that work can go on for the night shift. Every day, every night.
Taken from St. Michaelis church tower (Hamburg’s emblem, the ‘Michel’) out of the hand with an exposure time of 1/2 second.
