At the beach of List in early morning hours

by Marc 03/01/2018 | 2 IMAGES IN THE BLOGPOST | No Comments

In the early hours of the morning it is almost mystical, when large parts of the beach are still in the blue shade and the sun came down to the ocean waves. This morning, two days after the wonderful Biike fire, we had this mood at the beach of List. With Astrid I was already up there at 8 a.m. on the North Sea coast, with a weak easterly wind. The stairs to the beach were still wrecked by the winter storms and so we had to go down the ramp for the coast guard vehicles to the beach. What a sight to behold! Only the gentle waves received the first light. The horizon was still in a soft violet/pink, the stand itself was still largely frozen in a soft black-and-white shade.

At last the weather was good! After we were completely lost in the rain two years ago during the Biike Fire on Sylt and I brought only one picture home (because my front lens was full of water drops!), we had this year a wonderfully clear sky with a few clouds.The fire near Tinnum has been ignited around 6 p.m. and ³⁄₄ of an hour later the fire at the campsite of Westerland was ignited. I have also never experienced this so much that I saw several Biike fires at the same time!

Jetty Messberg

Until now I only knew the subway station Messberg at Willy-Brandt-Straße. If you get off there and walk around the ZDF building shown here, you only have to cross the Oberbaumbrücke to get to the pier with the same name.

I love the reflections of the ZDF building in the water of the channel. The different colors of the corridor lighting and also the red strips of the rear lights of the cars passing over the Oberbaum bridge.

Hamburg — Old Customs House

In my picture of the Spiegel building and the Deichtorhalle, I had already written that at the Ericusspitze, tradition and modernity can be experienced in several directions. Here it is the view along the Ericus Trench towards the Old Customs House, where today the 25hours Hotel Company and the agency Honey are accommodated.

I love the view of the beautifully renovated old brick building and the modern office buildings behind it. The flair of the Old Oustoms House is particularly noticeable in the evening hours, because during the renovation work, attention was paid to a beautiful illumination of the brick facade.

Hamburg — Ericusspitze and Deichtorhallen

Tradition and modernity. At Ericusspitze you can experience this in several directions. This time I was on the southern bank and had a view to the Spiegel building and the Deichtorhallen. It was precisely this section of the modern buildings on Ericusspitze together with the beautifully lit Deichtorhalle that I found particularly exciting.

Behind the Deichtorhalle a spotlight shines into the sky and it is not so easy to see some stars of the constellation Big Dipper above the building. It was once again a special moment for me on this clear evening. read more or write a comment …

Baumwall in fog

by Marc 02/04/2018 | 1 IMAGE IN THE BLOGPOST | No Comments

Contrary to my fog-photographs, which I published last week, this black-and-white photograph comes along. Actually, the fog was as colorful as it was when we took the picture of the marina.

In this photograph of the waterfront promenade at Baumwall, however, I would like to reduce the subject to the strong contrasts of the floodlights and the diagonally sloping lines of their posts. Again the fog helps to make many restless elements disappear from the background! Only very weakly one can still see the subway sign in the background.

Colorful Fog

What a splendour of colour in the early morning hours at the harbor front in Hamburg!
The more or less white lamps on the promenade, the orange sodium vapour lamps on the jetty and the strong blue of the lights of the tourists boats. Everything mixes in the fog to a fantastic »color soup«, which I have never experienced before.

Here I was in the right place at the right time and can bring a fantastic view of Hamburg to my photo friends and visitors of this website. Enjoy the view, please click on the picture to enlarge it!
