About My Days » Hamburg

We had a Sunday trip to Hamburgs’s museum ships and a round trip by ferry in the harbor. There were the Vattenfall Cyclassics happening in parallel. So, the ships were less crowded than one would expect on a Sunday.

Our first stop was the Cap San Diego. She is a cargo freighter from the 1960s and here are the photos I took on her.

After a quick lunch abort the Cap San Diego we continued our trip. The next destination was the sail ship Rickmer Rickmers.

The last point on our list was to take a round trip on a harbor ferry. It took us from Landungsbrücken to Finkenwerden and back. We were lucky and got the chance to see a big container ship being hooked to a tug.

Photo Walk, July 12, 2009

hbr — Sun, 12 Jul 2009 21:48:04 +0000

I had the Sunday morning for myself and took the opportunity to go on a photo walk. The tour took me through Hammer Park and along Eilbek canal. To finish I took some really nice pictures of bumblebees in Jacobi Park.

Hafengeburtstag 2009

hbr — Tue, 12 May 2009 07:54:15 +0000

Last Sunday was the final day of this year’s Hafengeburtstag(harbor’s birthday) in Hamburg. I had the morning free and took my D5000 out for a photo walk. Hamburgs Landungsbrücken tend to get very crowded on these occasions. Thus I went there quite early. I also took the old tunnel under the Elbe to get the view from the South side. Here are the best photos:

D5000 arrived – Photo Walk

hbr — Wed, 06 May 2009 20:43:48 +0000

Yesterday my D5000 was delivered. It was delivered by DHL. A neighbor took the delivery as I was not at home at the time. But, I only knew that the package had arrived from the tracking page of the shop. No notice by DHL to be found in the mailbox.

Anyway. Today after work I had to do a first photo walk with the new camera. The day started rainy, but by the end of work day sun was shining as requested. Here are some photos from the walk.

A Late Lion for Birthday

hbr — Fri, 16 May 2008 11:22:09 +0000

Me and my girlfriend had our birthdays back in October. We got tickets for Disney’s “Lion King” – or “König der Löwen” in German – as presents. We had to wait until last Tuesday as it was the date to use the tickets. The musical is performed at the Theater im Hafen.
We started with a decent dinner, nothing too extraordinary though. The performance itself was like you would expect from a Disney product. Easy to consume, but worthwhile. I liked the costumes especially. They where not only costumes, but puppets, too.
