First Installment of Hamburg Photos.

Happiness is Earl Grey and Truman Capote.

Ok, really I just took the photo of shoe-chocolates to send to my mother, but I'm sure that other people can enjoy the ridiculousness too.

This is the old tunnel under the river in Hamburg. So Awesome. Creepy and cool.

This is the lift used to get cars up and down from street level. Oh, the technology!

These are the statistics.

View of the Rathaus and lakes from St Nickolai Kirche.

Ruins of St Nikolai Kirche, destroyed by a bomb in WWII.

Door at Nikolaikirche. Love the wrought iron work!

This chandelier (inside the Rathaus) makes me think suspiciously of the Phantom of the Opera...

Justice stands outside a private government chamber. Oh, the irony!

Wooden door in the "Orphan's Room" in the Rathaus.

Ceiling in the Rathaus. They really were trying their best to make it into a palace.

Government chamber in the Rathaus.

Main stairwell in the Hamburg Kunsthalle.

This was just a shop display I walked past. How cute!

Gloomy skies over Hamburg's river shipping yard.

Pipe organ inside Michaelskirche.

Pure happiness on a train ride.
