This atmospheric motif shows an evening cruise on the Kiel Fjord, taken from one of the traditional fjord steamers. The water glistens gently in the last light of day, while on the horizon the two naval dockyards draw their striking silhouettes against the colourful sky.
The picture combines contrasts: the calm of the water and the power of industry, the soft glow of the evening sun and the angular contours of the shipyards. The perspective from the ship conveys the feeling of being in the midst of movement - on the way between everyday life and wanderlust, between city and sea.
"Evening on the Fjord" captures the special character of Kiel: maritime, honest and full of depth. It is a homage to the North German harbour landscape and the magic of the moment when the light slowly fades over the fjord, but the soul of the sea remains.
