Good bad-weather option, a photo from Hamburg, West

Photographer's Note

This shopping centre is about 15 years old already but when I lived near Hamburg, it has just opened (5 months before this photo was taken) and it was the place to be, a shopping heaven in the middle of the Hamburg city centre. I am usually quite bored by shopping, maybe because I never have enough money, but it does remain a good alternative to spend time when the weather gets really bad. This shopping centre is called Europa Passage and the entrance to it is nearly across the square from the town hall façade which I showed in my previous photo. I remember that these unique arches were supposed to mean something, but I don’t recall what it was, may be a backbone of a U-boot?

Hello Mariusz,
I'm certainly not a shopping fanatic. In distant countries I have sometimes visited a modern shopping center to see what is being sold there and to see the difference with the traditional markets. But shopping is in no way the main purpose of a trip.
This photo was taken from a good spot and gives a nice overview of the different floors. The consecutive arches ensure an attractive compostion and good depth.
Best regards, Paul

Hi Mariusz
This good photo is quite a contrast to the town hall photo. I don't think I've seen an arcade with arches like that.
cheers

Hi Mariusz,

Quite a nice surprise to find such an interesting shopping centre. Good sharpness, and the repetition of the inverted U shapes linked from left to right with catwalks, is eye catching. Tfs!

Olá Mariusz,
não é meu ambiente preferido, já faz tempo que não entro em um, mas de qualquer maneiro, boa simetria e controle de luz aqui.
Parabéns e Abraço,
Lucas

Hello Mariusz,

I have to say, you have taken a really well composed photograph of the shopping centre. I love how you have used the receding arches to frame the whole scene and to create an excellent sense of depth and perspective.
The details are fine and the colours very vibrant.

Have a good day,
Bev :-)

well exposed and a well chosen PoV. th people just have to be here and are pleasantly spaced out throughout the frame

Hello Mariusz, a different type of subject from you today.
You had a very good point of view to get this symmetrical scene.
The light was managed really well.
Thanks for sharing.
Kind regards, Jean.

yes, these arches added a special aspect to the interior and the photo too. excellent angle you choose and nice quality.
in these last years brazilian shopping centers are having troubles because the clients who are modifying their way of life, many of them are preferring to buy by internet, after covid things became worst.
sometimes I think what will be of these shops in the near future if everybody will by using internet to get things. everything will be made by robots, no more truckers, bus drivers, boat men,no more farmers, no more check-out workers, no more guys in gas stations.. where people will get the money ? looks like the disposable things we are using and destroying the planet, looks like social rules being destroyed faster that a new order will be built..

take care

Hi Mariusz.
Sensational perspective of this beautiful photo of the shopping center, the vertical composition gives us the beautiful effect of the sequence of the arches, it also allows us to see the four floors of stores, certainly a good place to browse on cold or rainy days.
An image to enjoy, with its beautiful coloring, great luminosity and perfect sharpness.
Superbly captured. Love it.
Happy start of the week.
Very best regards.
Luis.
