photo hunt: classic


themes · about ·


These are classic pictures of Hamburg, Germany , where we used to live before moving to Spain. Das Rathaus, the City Hall :


Jungfernstieg and the Alster Lake. If you like maps, here is one!

Hauptbahnhof, the main train station.

The reason I chose this classic pictures is that I am currently in Hamburg, Germany, posting early with a great view of the Alster Lake downtown and visiting late as I will be home late on saturday. These pictures were in my archives and were taken in the summer, Hamburg is cloudy and cold (max 10ºC/ 50ºF) at this time of the year but there isn't such thing as bad weather, only inappropriate clothing!! It´s a pity for the hobby photographer, though, sunny pictures are much prettier... Happy hunting!

    Hi Mar!
    Lovely photos!
    I was in Hamburg as a little girl for Octoberfest! haaa, it has been years.
    We went down the river on Rafts. And everyone was drinking beer, I was scared they would fall overboard! ;-)

    have fun

    Nice! I've never actually been to Germany, but I've heard some cities are truly beautiful.

    I love looking at this old buildings... don't see too many of them in N. America!

    I love the photos you have Mar. It must be nice to go to Hamburg and stroll leisurely on the plazas and discovering its different nooks and crannies. Just lovely.

    Hope you had a great time :)

    Ah, beautiful scenes and buildings. Actually the mid photo could have been a part of Stockholm, it's that alike :-)

    Have a smashing weekend and do everything I would do and a little more....*giggles*

    Lovely to see some pictures of Hamburg. Thinking about it, we don't often see anything from Germany. I hope you're having a lovely trip.

    Enjoy your time in Hamburg. Actually a cloudy sky could make for some good 'moody' shots. With the right clothing, of course!

    Those are wonderful, classic photos of Hamburg. :) My humans enjoyed running the marathon there in April - it gave them an overview of the entire city. :)

    Great pics. Hamburg looks lovely. I really want to visit Germnay sooner rather than later and I was thinking of Berlin but you might have changed my mind, though I suppose I could do both!
