A winter scene of Hamburg's harbor looking out over the Elbe River. In the foreground lie large, light-colored pieces of driftwood and dark stones, some partially covered in snow. Ice floes drift in the Elbe in the center. The skyline is visible in the background: on the right, the striking glass building of the Elbphilharmonie concert hall; on the left, the tower of St. Michael's Church (Michel); and various ships moored at the quayside under a cloudy, gray sky.

| COLD WINTER DAY

I finally managed to get to the Elbe River to capture the drifting ice. The wind was rather biting, though. At least this piece of driftwood was just right to make a nice foreground.

A Capture of the milkyway, with lot‘s of little stars. There are trees in front of it. The milky way shines yellow and a little bit blue. You can see the nebulas at the top of the Milky way.

| MILKY WAY

Last Summer due to may vacation in the Normandy, France, I was able to capture the Milky Way. It was dark enough to barely see it

An orange observation tower with an oval viewing platform, in the night. The Orange color is shining through the dark sky. On the left side of the tower is a lamppost, with a bright aperture star effect. A grey building is on the left hanf side aswell, so the grey and orange work out together pretty well, and a futuristic view appears.

| MODERN VIEW

What looks like a futuristic building or modern art, is a viewpoint in Harbour City in Hamburg.
For my opinion it just looks spacy, but it‘s not worth to visit. There is no good view.

The grand entrance hall of a building at Hamburg’s port boasts a large window overlooking the harbor, adorned with numerous window squares. The rest of the hall is symmetrically arranged, except for the harbor crane in the background. The floor reflects the railing outside and the cranes. As the evening sun fades, it transitions from a soft blue at the top to a beautiful orange at the lower side.

| SYMMETRICAL PERFECTION

Symmetry is everywhere. You just have to go through life with your eyes open to appreciate it.

An old and lonely bike is standing in front of a fence. The bike is reflected in a puddle between the cobblestone, wich makes the reflection torn. In the background you can see the Elbphilharmonie, the Elbe Philharmonic Hall.

| TAKE A RIDE

Hamburg offers you so many views to the heart of this wonderful city.
The details are what make this city special. Like this lone bile in front of the Elbphilharmonie, or as we in Hamburg say: Elphi

An old tugboat lies peacefully in the Elbe. It's a museum ship. Overnight, snow has transformed the city of Hamburg into a white wonderland. A string of lights runs across the foreground of the picture, lending the photo a festive and warm feel.

| WINTER WONDER CITY

Finally, the snow approached Hamburg, and the City looks like a real winter wonderland.

An I.C.E. Train of the german railway is coming from the left side of the picture, and is crossing the Lombards Bridge in Hamburg. It is a panshot, so everything but the train is a bit blurry.

| DRIVING HOME FOR X-MAS

The Intercity Express is arriving at Dammtor station in Hamburg.
The Lombards bridge above the Alster lake and the Hamburg skyline in the background is always a sight to behold.

An old white steamboat is passing under a bridge over the Alster River in Hamburg. A large cloud of steam billows heavily as it makes its way under the bridge and out into the open air. In the background, the church steeples and the tower of the town hall can be seen, along with the illuminated Christmas tree on the Alster.

| STEAMBOAT

The steamer "St. Georg" was build 1876, and is today the oldest operational vehicle of Hamburg's public transport system and also the oldest steamship in Germany.

| SNOWY DAY

Today the night brought snow to the north of Germany.
In 2023 I was in Hamburg at the Elbe River, where this cute Lighthouse is located. From a hilltop, you are at the same height as the top of the tower.

Three blue and white "Fairplay" tugboats sail side-by-side on a river, celebrating with a spectacular display. Massive plumes of vibrant pink, blue, and yellow smoke and water cannons blast into the sky, creating a thick, colorful canopy over the vessels. The water reflects the bright colors under a clear blue sky, with a shoreline featuring trees and industrial buildings in the background.

| HAPPY NEW YEAR 🍾💫🍀

With this colorful picture from Hamburg's port anniversary, I wish you a happy, successful and healthy 2026.
