Kannengießerort- und Pickhubenbrücke

SC49 -Bridge

One from the recent archives, I couldn't do much this week due to summer flu. I will slowly catch up in the next days....

The port City of Hamburg has nearly 2500 bridges, many more than Venice (ca. 400).
The ones in the photo are in Speicherstadt ( en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speicherstadt ) with its old warehouses that stand on timber pile foundations. Speicherstadt and the inner city of Hamburg are criss-crossed by so called Fleets (tidal canals), hence the vast number of bridges.

Gudrun replied to Xata:

Obrigada, Isabel! I hope you will be able to visit Hamburg next year!

It's a great place though as you can see they are doing a lot of repairs at the moment- the waves caused by the many tourist barges have damaged the foundations...

Beautiful urban images and I was interested to read in the notes that Hamburg has more bridges than Venice.

Thank you so much, George! Well, Hamburg is a much bigger city than Venice- more canals, more bridges;-)

Sorry to hear you have been unwell Gudrun...........and glad you've recovered.

These are lovely images. The architecture is beautiful and looks great in the sunshine. I like the reflections on the windows in the main image.

I like the looks of the bridges as well. Two well composed and superbly detailed images!
