---Some of you have seen this building before---

Are you sure, Raj? ( 😜 !)
Just kidding of course, because this 'Lotsenhaus Seemannshöft' is a well known landmark in the Hamburg area.

I can remember the water level indicator just above the clock at a side wall of this tower, showing the water level over/under sea chart zero in digits. Black digits indicate a water level over sea chart zero, while a level under sea chart zero is shown with red digits.

Good addition to your series!

Considering the number of people on top of that tower, I'm assuming those are not staff and the place gives tours? If so, what a great vantage point for seeing and shooting the surrounding area. I have seen this structure before but don't mind because the architecture, history, and use is quite interesting. It helps, too, when someone gets a nice shot of it and shares it with those who'll never get to Hamburg in their lives (wink, wink).

Very well done, and my thought is what a neat experience it would be to get to the top of the tower for great view. tigs=^..^=

I'm not sure if I had seen it before, but it doesn't matter because it's a wonderful building to view. The houses across the water look great too.
A good addition to your series Raj.

It does look like that has been built some time past...A bit Gothic in appearance...but ready to do a great job for the seamen

Thanks for sharing the information and a fine capture as well. Learned something here today and that is a great thing!

I agree the top of that building must be a great point to photograph from in any direction. Good one Raj.

I'm not sure if I've seen this before but I trust the captain will bring the ship to its allocated berth:) and thank him and you for an interesting tour...great shot of the pilot station and distant homes.
