This picture shows Kiel City Hall in a moment of quiet splendour: it is illuminated in the darkness and impressively reflected in the "Little Kiel". The warm light emphasises the historic architecture and makes the town hall seem to float above the water like a landmark of light and stone.
The calm surface of the water reflects every detail - the tower, the façades and the city's night-time glow - creating a perfect balance between reality and reflection. The interplay of light and shadow, movement and stillness lends the scene an almost fairytale-like atmosphere.
The shot captures Kiel's special mood after dark, when the city comes to rest and its most beautiful contours dance in the water. A motif that conveys both a sense of home and timeless elegance and is ideal for lovers of night photography, architecture and Nordic flair.
