This is a photo of modern apartment houses constructed on the old piers which were meant for freighters carrying general cargo. The piers are no longer in use because of the containerisation of goods.

Those walkways are pontoons floating in the water. Old ships and tugs that are no longer in service are tied up there for tourists to see. One has been converted into a restaurant/bar.

This is real and NOT a miniature :)

Colorful and very good city scape of dynamic Hamburg.

A perfect mix of (maritime) nostalgia and modern architecture.
Taken very well Raj!!!

I too, found myself scanning this shot over and over. So many different styles of architecture. I think I would love to have an apartment looking over the river. Well done, Raj.

I'm glad you told me Raj. :)
It is great they use old ships and pontoons to their advantage.
You have shown us for years how important your Port is to your economy. Another good one.

I before reading any info I got a strong vibe that this was somewhere in Deutschland. I was thinking more around Berlin, but definitely in the German region. Nice shot.

Very interesting use of the old piers Raj and I'm guessing favored by the young who want that late night city vibe.

A great place to live for those who enjoy the marine life and a resourceful way of making use of the old tugs and pontoons...an interesting shot, Raj.

If you stare at an orange juice container because it says, "CONCENTRATE"...you might be a redneck.

Its a pleasure to see that the city planners were quite successful in coverting the outmoded piers into a thriving community. Excellent shot Raj!!! Love the building architecture, especially the orange building:-):-):-)
