Warehouses in Hamburg

I happily got lost in this district of Hamburg while looking for a museum, but reasoned that the whole area was a like a musuem in itself. I was drawn to the height of these buildings, old warehouses looming over narrow canals, suggesting trade and commerce and bustling activity, but here silent and still. There is something mysterious here, or even dreamlike – a feeling that the buildings on either side of the water are almost glaring at each other; and there's a sense of the epic in the perspective as are drawn to the bridge in the distance. Oh, and I liked the colours –the warm reds of the brickwork and the spooky green of some of the roofwork. Location: Hamburg, Germany
