The Elbe River.
Hamburg, Germany.
April 2011.
Long exposures.
The further you get away from the town centre and the port of Hamburg, the less heavy the light pollution will be. The picture above was taken some 10 kilometres from the centre and the one below about 15 kilometres from the centre. Still, there is no darkness on the edge of town.
Some folks are born into a good life
Other folks get it anyway anyhow
Tonight I'll be on that hill
'cause I can't stop
I'll be on that hill
with everything I got
Lives on the line
where dreams are found and lost
I'll be there on time
and I'll pay the cost
For wanting things
that can only be found
In the darkness
on the edge of town.
(Bruce Springsteen)
Goodnight!
