Sometimes it feels like London where real Londoners are hard to find between the tourists. If your are coming from a smaller place like Hamburg you will notice how large this city is.

And there was my photo of that building: just through the display of the smartphone of an unknown woman. Planetarium Hamburg - X-PRO1 (60mm @ f2.4)
