Winter in the city

A radiant blue sky, 25 °F. The ice on our town lake Alster is almost strong enough to allow skating and other pleasures. Although our administration haven't opened the ice yet, many people are seeking their pleasure on their own risk. With extreme zoom, I was able to take this photo. A full turn shows this lovely scene, a row of mid-19th century buildings close to the townhall.

Beautiful pictures. I do not know Hamburg at all - except that The Beatles played there before becoming famous! The buildings on the waterfront look wonderful. Perhaps I should check it out on Google!

Oh yes! I was so lucky to enjoy my afternoon there.
If you want to see my pictures go to my blog.

I remember watching the steam boat on the lake a couple of years ago, suspect it would need an ice breaker now :-)
