Photo Location: Lübeck, Germany 12-15-2016, 05:50 PM
I visited Lübeck in December 2015, and now I've done it again. I brought 3 cameras this time, so I left my tripod at home to lighten the load a bit. Lesson learned: the K-1 has really good image stabilisation. Other lessons learned: Lübeck loves marzipan to a fault, and Ordnung muss sein. More on this below. Holstentor, the emblem of Lübeck. This photo is perfectly level, it's the building that's crooked.

Six of the Seven Towers (one obscured behind another), as seen from the roof of a car park. From left to right: Dom (Cathedral) behind Aegidienkirche (Church of St. Giles), Petrikirche (Church of St. Peter), Marienkirche (St. Mary's Church), Jakobikirche (Church of St. Jacob). Klughafenbrücke in the foreground.

Edifis would have loved this building. The passage on the right is comically tiny.

Detail from the only really seedy alley I could find in the old town, which is otherwise universally idyllic.

Ordnung muss sein, exhibit A: every gull I met was on its best behaviour. The gulls in Denmark are vicious, ruthless, savage monsters.

The stampede Christmas Market. I found a brief lull in the crowds and pounced.

A more typical scene from the notorious tourist magnet.

The only winning move in this game is to accept the photobomb as part of the composition. Or something.

But wait, there's more. Lübeck is home to marzipan manufacturer J. G. Niederegger GmbH & Co. KG, and the Marzipan-Speicher store sells all manner of marzipan products: Pure marzipan.
