Thoughts are free, who can guess them?
They flee by like nocturnal shadows.
No man can know them, no hunter can shoot them,
with powder and lead: Thoughts are free!

First heavy snow in Hamburg

Winter decided to visit Hamburg today with the first heavy snowfall tonight after some smaller showers already occurred earlier this week. I had my GF1 with me, happily taking a couple of snapshots after we finished a dinner snack at the Christmas market downtown.

I guess Hamburg is not New York

Mönckebergstraße Weihnachtsparade

Mönckebergstraße, Hamburg. Germany. November 2011.

I genuinely enjoy living in Hamburg. The city has posh, swanky areas that appeal to my sophisticated side and on the other hand, it’s laid back enough so I can feel good enough about myself leaving the apartment with a shabby, laid back look. Some areas of Hamburg certainly have that urban grittiness associated with the world’s top cities such as Paris, London, New York and Tokyo, but looking closely, I guess “Hamburg is not New York” – at least not when considering the Christmas Parade taking place during the weekends on Hamburg’s premier shopping mile, Mönckebergstraße.
