Hamburg Rathaus Stretching Up Towards The Sky

This is a pinhole photograph (a photograph made with a camera without lens) of Hamburg City Hall and its fountain.

I like how the building stretches up towards the sky as if it is stretched above us, the viewer of the image and hanging us almost in a ghostly like.

The black and white image transmits a sense of past and coolness. Such coolness feeling if transmitted to the building and expressed through its own antique architecture, as well as enhanced by the white snow and the contrast of the white sky.

The stretched edges of the photo, created by the ultra wide angle image, has a feeling of a dynamic scene, as if we are approaching or distancing the building, or if as the building is approaching or distancing from us.
