Description
The port city of Hamburg, in northern Germany, has many, very varied styles of architecture. The spires of several landmark churches dominate the skyline and skyscrapers are few and far between. The ever present canals wind around the streets, pass under countless bridges carrying commuter filled trains, and skirt the buildings, giving the city the unique feel of a floating, modern metropolis. Pictured here are two very different architectural gems, on the left, the baroque St.Michael's Church. Its 132 m high steeple is a landmark easily seen from all over Hamburg and if you ever lose your way, it will guide you home. On the right, in complete contrast, is one facade of the enormous, contemporary 'Gruner & Jahr' building, which, when viewed from afar resembles a ship.
