The story behind the image

One of the strangest things (for me) is to return from a nice trip and review the images I took just days before. It just looks unreal, just like a dream.

This is even more true when I experienced a number of nice moments just like this sunset over Hamburg in Germany where we stayed for a couple of days this week. On Thursday – three daysa ago! – we had had dinner at a restaurant near the Elbphilharmonie, where we had been in the afternoon.

When we left the restaurant, the light of the setting sun illuminated the building of the Elbphilharmonie and the channel of the Sandtorhafen in a stunningly beautiful way.

Gosh. Now I realize how much I miss the sea.
