Hamburg, Germany,
August 2014
Some
moments are precious and can't be described clearly through words.
But pictures say a lot and describe even more. This year was full of
travels and new different places. Family and friends surrounded those
great moments of pure happiness and freedom. Traveling, for people
like me, is the essence of life. And taking photos is a natural way
to remember all those places. Either they are abstract, landscape,
urban or portraits, taken with DSLRs, analog cameras or mobile
telephones, those pictures never stop carrying important instants in
time.
This time
it was Hamburg, a big industrial beautiful city, with amazing life
and diversity. A family wedding was the reason for our visit, where
we had a blast. A protestant, German/Dutch wedding was the top of our
trip with the after party being one of the greatest experiences I
ever had. The dinner party was held in the last floor of one of the
biggest skyscrapers in town, where we could have a full 180degrees
view of whole Hamburg. With a unique buffet of meat, fish, roasted
vegetables and loads of salads, side dishes, bread and many many
drinks such as champagne, cold cocktails, wine constantly refilling
and so much more, we were all super excited.
The warm
feeling of purity accompanied our whole night with great music,
dancing to it till the early morning. The days before we would walk
around the center and enjoy the busy life of Hamburg, heading down to
the shipyard and following the path towards the other side of town,
where forests meat with urbanism. Heat would be constant and
unbearable, but in times like this, you just ignore the negative and
fully enjoy the positive. And if I think of it now, everything was
positive. Every single bit of it. The walks, the cold ice-teas in our
walking breaks, the food in restaurants, the wedding, the scenery,
the nature, the city, the buildings, the bread, the sausages, the
beer, the wine, the view, the stores, the party, the family, all.
