Description
I wasn't sure what to expect on exiting the elevator that had just transported me deep underground to the tunnel that would take me from one side of the Elbe River to the other on foot. I was pleasantly surprised by the natural light flooding into the entrance area through the large windows so high above, giving a feeling of roominess and warmth rather than gloom and darkness. The tiled walls are decorated with mosaics and nautical designs, adding to the welcoming vibe. At over 100 years old, the Old Elbe Tunnel is a great glimpse of nostalgia. It took four years to complete this passageway that sits 24 meters beneath the surface of the river and it is used round the clock, every day of the year, by pedestrians and vehicles, (which are also ferried up and down in huge elevators, great engineering and fun to watch). I added texture to this image to compliment the vintage feel.
