Hamburg's Port Birthday by Marina Usmanskaya
Once a year in May the Port of Hamburg is truly tops: About 1.5 million people every year celebrate the Hamburg Port Birthday - the greatest harbour festival in the world - on the nearly four kilometre-long "Harbour Mile" along the Elbe between the HafenCity and the Övelgönne Museum Harbour.Among the participants of the festival, the world's largest sailing ships, such as Kruzenshtern and MIR
The Russian STS MIR (Peace) was built in 1987 in Gdansk. With a length of 110.0m and a width of 14.0m it is one of the largest sailing ships in the world. Its sail area is 3000 square meters, just under half of a soccer field.

Marina Great "rigging" shot of a tall ship -- and fascinating story about Hamburg's Port Birthday! Almost no one photographs photographs Hamburg which s a truly beautiful city. Fine use of the horizontals of the spars to create a great abstract of parallel lines!
