Alstervergnügen is a big vanity fair which last 4 days. Live music, fireworks, food and a lot of fun is what you can expect there. There are many fireworks in Hamburg, but these three are the better ones. This time I shot the fireworks from a distant bridge. Check photos inside the gallery.

Hamburg's habour is 819 years old soo. The birthday party was the world`s biggest Port Festival. The party was a super large vanity fair with many different bands, food, roller coaster, fireworks, air shows and water events like the tug boat ballet. Many of the visiting ships were large sail ships and they were open for visitors.

Another marathon with over 23000 more people are famous as they all deserve the respect for participating in the annual Hamburg Marathon. Seeing the marathon life was an amazing experience. The mood in the crowed and the interaction of runners with bystanders made this an enjoyable event.

All the bikers with not only Harleys gathered for there round tour right in front of us. A kind of vanity fair where right across the road so we went there too. See some of our impressions in the gallery. (more pictures to come)

This was a bit unorganized. I didn't exactly know the location of the fireworks and so I was a bit far away. I couldn't use a tripod, so it was a bit of a problem to hold still. The fireworks was displayed with some weird breaks and at the end as everyone was away, one could hear some more bangs. I don't know if the fireworks went on after an obvious final. Hope you like the photos anyways so check out the gallery

I was at the World Press Photo Exhibition of the 2006 prize winning photos at "Gruner + Jahr Druck- und Verlagshaus", Hamburg

A picture of US photographer Spencer Platt of Getty Images has been selected World Press Photo of the Year 2006.

Sorry guys ... I got no phots. First it wouldn't be right to shoot at the exhibition and second it might create a copyright problem. Well you gotta see them for yourself anyways. Amazing damn good photography. The Exihibtions is here in Hamburg until May 27 and thereafter in Berlin.

Dom is a big vanity fair. It takes place four times a year for three weeks. Dom is the german word for cathedral and indeed was the Heiligengeistfeld the location where a cathedral stood. That was long ago thought

As youngsters we where fond of all the roller coasters and later of all the good and special food.

Over 23000 more people are famous as they all deserve the respect for participating in the annual Hamburg Marathon. Of course the winner has to be mentioned as well as he made the course in 2:07:32 hours. The winner Rop also won the Boston marathon in 2002.

Seeing the marathon life was an amazing experience. The mood in the crowed and the interaction of runners with bystanders made this an enjoyable event.

Personally, I found it interesting to see how different runners run along. Some looked exhausted after a few miles, but most made it anyways independent of that. I saw a few again after they had run 22 miles and it made no difference to me. Unexpected to me was to see a lot of normal looking people among the runners.

There are many fireworks in Hamburg. This one took place at the Alstervergnügen. At this event three contries compete on three nights and show off their best fireworks.

Well, I was waiting to check out photography of fireworks and finally got a chance. I always want to express my view of photography and so I gave up quickly on the pre-programmed firework settings. I wanted fireworks and no tracers. Some problems emerged as I found the my viewport fenced in and also discovered an electrical wire above me. There was no time to change location and so see what came out of this.
