You probably wouldn't describe Hamburg in Northern Germany as quaint or full of charm like some of the other European cities you would associate with canals and waterways, but it does have a few little areas that still hark back to the days when merchants and traders transported their wares by boat. Take a look behind and beyond the contemporary towering architecture and you will find them. Neatly tucked away on Deichstrasse, the oldest remaining street of the Altstadt, pretty, colourful, multi windowed waterfront abodes with pointed uneven rooftops give you a glimpse of history. By night, the glowing street lights and inviting warmth from within the buildings reflect on the surrounding canals of Nikolaifleet, giving quite a different feel to the eerie gloom of a winter's day. I hand blended a selection of textures with my original photograph to compliment the old world feel of this classic black and white Hamburg city scene by night.

I'm a travel photographer and photo artist. I like to explore every nook and cranny of anywhere I visit and I'm always looking out for something unusual or unique, weird and wonderful, interesting and intriguing. For me, half the challenge is in the initial taking of the photo, the looking for something that catches my attention, getting that perfect composition, but the other half is in the processing, the tweaking and twisting and the addition of a little imagination to see how much detail I can bring to the surface and hopefully let the viewer see the same as I did when I took the shot. My images have been shot here, there and everywhere, mainly in the historic cities of Europe and with the occasional one taken in my own surroundings...
