Farewell, for now, to Berlin on the blog :-).
City Views.198
Considering the over-abundance of photos noted in prior posts, I’ve decided it’s time to share just about all the photos that remain from late June’s visit to Hamburg – a trip we’ve shown you in various past posts starting in early July. Sheesh, three months ago already. Anyhoo – the gallery below is just about everything; the Bismarck Monument above (I think I recall reading somewhere that it’s the largest Bismarck monument in the world?) is one notable city site. I think the Alster & the City Hall (Rathaus) shown in the two larger photos at the end are probably the city’s most famous sites, along with the harbor in general and, now, the Elbphilharmonie building (we pointed it out in an earlier post, and you’ll see it again in the gallery below if you look for it).
Coasting.68
Traveling from Portsmouth, NH over to Star Island involves exiting along the Piscataqua River & Bay out to the open ocean, past one of the cooler pulley-elevating bridges I’ve seen as well as two different lighthouses. (The bridge we’ve shown you a few times in previous posts.)

Who doesn’t love a lighthouse? As I might have mentioned in earlier posts from that lovely German East-Frisian island of Borkum, we spent our one night there with a view of this “new lighthouse” from the balcony. Quite lovely. Since we passed it much more frequently than the “old lighthouse” (the final image of which wraps up the end of this post, at the bottom), I have more photos of it in all the various light and cloud conditions we observed in our short stay. Since I now officially have a backlog of photos that might well last me into my next break from posting some time in 2024, I figure I’d better start clearing the trips from more than two months ago a bit more rapidly. Hope you enjoy the resultant gallery with every remaining photo from Borkum in which I saw any of the the three different lighthouses to be found there. (If the gallery doesn’t view well on your screen & you’d like to see all the pics, try either the “load full version” or shift to a desktop or laptop.)
