This photo shows the Kiel Museum Bridge in the light of night - a place where maritime history remains alive. At the centre are two impressive contemporary witnesses of seafaring: the "Bussard", a buoy tender built in 1906 and now lovingly restored, and the "Hindenburg" rescue boat, which once saved lives on the North and Baltic Seas.
The historic ships are reflected in the dark water in the soft glow of the harbour lights. The calm evening mood allows the contours of the ships to stand out clearly, while the background sinks into a deep blue. The warm light emphasises the details of the ship's sides, masts and superstructures and lends the motif a quiet dignity.
This picture tells of tradition, craftsmanship and Kiel's close connection to the sea. It captures the special atmosphere of a place where past and present coexist harmoniously.
An atmospheric work for lovers of maritime history, night photography and North German harbour romance.
