City
Hamburg
Germany

What guided this image
- Landmarks
- UNESCO World Heritage Speicherstadt; Elbphilharmonie Hamburg; Poggenmühlenbrücke; Hamburg Rathaus; St. Michael's Church; Binnenalster and Außenalster; lush northern German maritime flora; Hanseatic League
- Viewpoint
- The Speicherstadt canals (Fleet) with the red-brick warehouses, the Elbphilharmonie on the harbor, or the view toward the Wasserschloss should occupy most of the image while leaving enough open water, soft sky, and exposed watercolor paper to create depth.
- Palette
- Green should be the predominant color, especially in the oxidized copper-green spires and domes of St. Michaelis and the Rathaus, weeping willows along canals, and Alster parklands.
- Guarded against
- Not Bremen, Amsterdam, or Copenhagen
