In-spiring view

From a brief visit to Hamburg almost three years ago … this is the clock tower at St. Michael’s Lutheran Church. I can tell you it’s a long climb to the top — great cardio exercise at the very least, rewarded with nice views if you like that sort of thing.

Hamburg, Germany, seen from up high

When I can swing it, I pick a church tower and climb the stairs to some kind of observation deck at the top. The effort is usually rewarded with such a commanding view as this one in Hamburg, Germany, captured in August 2014.

Corny Big

Because the names of foreign snack foods can be amusing. Saw this in a vending machine at the Osnabrück train station in Germany, while I was on my way to Hamburg this past summer. (Unfortunately, I did not try this.)

A contribution of sorts to Caturday: Spotted this graffiti in Hamburg back in the summer.

Hold onto me

One of the sculptures at St. Michael’s Church in Hamburg, Germany. Captured this image back in August.

Your turn up the wheel

Just a lazy, warm Sunday afternoon in Hamburg. It was definitely shorts weather that day back in the beginning of August, with the temperature hitting a high of 30 degrees C … except I hadn’t changed into my shorts.

Rising above the landscape

This tribute to Otto van Bismarck was one of Hamburg’s landmarks visible from my hotel room. Seen up close, I confirmed my initial sense of how big the thing really is.
