Taking photos around the Alster

On our last walk around the Alster, I took these photos. It is nice to see Spring is here, but the cold weather is still with us. The walk around the Alster is relaxing and I am looking forward to summer when we plan to take one of the ships that take you from one extreme of the Alster to the other one.

Just recently in the lower part of the Alster, there is a platform where you can walk some meters inside the lake. I do not mean into the water but as if you were walking over it. I also noticed something I hadn't before, the spring of water coming out from the middle of the lower Alster. I saw this first in Zurich and I came to relate these kind of springs to boring cities that don't have much to show and must create something artificial for the tourists.

I hope this is not the case for Hamburg. You can click on the photos of the Alster if you want a larger format.
