Underground Station Elbbrücken

by Marc 12/15/2018 | 1 IMAGE IN THE BLOGPOST | No Comments

I was able to take this picture at the beautiful blue hour 10 days before the opening of the new underground station in Hamburg. At these days this lighting mood is unfortunately very rare to see, so I was even happier to have been in Hamburg that evening.

The subway station Elbbrücken was designed by the architects von Gerkan, Marg und Partner and is a gem at the end of the growing Hafencity — or at the beginning, when you cross the River Elbe bridges into the Hafencity. That evening I could see the warm light of the lighting reflected in the glass dome of the station. Awesome! I’m looking forward to more pictures that I can take there after the station opened on 12/6/2018.

Cartwrights

It was interesting to see what simple tools the cartwrights used to work with. Two cartwrights worked on parts of a wooden wheelbarrow, while one worked on an axe handle.

Cartwright’s Hands

The hands of the cartwright at work. In the museum of the old cartwright’s workshop in Langenrehm there are also a few trained cartwrights among the many volunteers. All of them have already reached retirement age, but not only the museum visitors but also the other participants learn the tricks of the craftmanship. In addition they can assign the many found tools mostly to the different machines. read more or write a comment …

Old laundry room

The museum cartwright lures with Café Peters with coffee and cake. But I was amazed when I came from the backyard into the building to find a fully functional laundry room! Here the museum laundry is even cleaned with a washing bobbin. In the corner there is an oven for cooking laundry and a washboard. That even here the tools are still complete is wonderful. The colors of the tiles and the wall paint do the rest. read more or write a comment …

Cartwright’s Tools

The open-air museum on the Kiekeberg has a large number of outposts around it. Besides the museum farm Wennerstorf and the mill museum Moisburg also an old cartwright from the 30’s in Langenrehm belongs to the »inventory«. The cartwrights were responsible for the production of wooden wagon wheels and of course they also produced many other wooden tools. read more or write a comment …

Cranes approaching

With this motive I did not have to think long whether I still leave it in color. The backlight effect with the cranes reduced to black and white is simply sufficient in this simplicity.

That was once again an impression of my stay in the Tister Moor.

Cranes at Tister Moor

After the sun had set over the moor landscape, the calls of the cranes became slowly audible. First individual small groups, then ever larger swarms of cranes flew from all directions towards the moor.

After the first cranes had landed already in 200–300 m distance and the sun was still reflected by the clouds standing in the west, I had the luck with 400mm focal length to catch this scene. A small swarm of cranes put on to the landing with the other cranes and were illuminated by the sunlight.
