A Sidewalk Cafe By the Waterfront (Hamburg Alster-Arcades, June 2017) The Hamburg Alster-Arcades were designed by leading urban planner Alexis de Chateauneuf who reshaped Hamburg after the Great Fire of 1842. Inspired by his travels to Italy, Chateauneuf emphasised symmetry and arched structures along the Jungfernstieg waterfront: an area where the privileged could live, dine, shop and mingle surrounded by elegance (source: Hamburg.de). #hamburg #alsterarkaden #streetphotography #urbanphotography #blackandwhitephotography (Olympus OM-D E-M5, f5.6, 1/100, 42 mm, ISO 200)
