Im Osten der HafenCity entsteht derzeit in unmittelbarer Nachbarschaft der neu eröffneten U4-Haltestelle eines der dichtesten und urbansten Quartiere der HafenCity: Das Quartier Elbbrücken mit 560.000 qm Bruttogesamtfläche, für rund 11.000 Arbeitsplätze und 1.400 Wohnungen.
In the east of HafenCity, one of the densest and most urban quarters of HafenCity is currently under construction in the immediate vicinity of the newly opened U4 stop: the Elbbrücken quarter with a total gross area of 560,000 sqm, for around 11,000 jobs and 1,400 apartments.
The Elbphilharmonie Hamburg (Elbe Philharmonic Hall) is a concert hall under construction in the HafenCity quarter of Hamburg. The concert hall is designed by Herzog & De Meuron on top of an old warehouse. It will be the highest inhabited building of Hamburg.
In 2007, the construction was scheduled to be finished in 2010 with an estimated cost of € 241 million. In November 2008 as an endorsement to the original contract, the costs for the project were estimated at € 450 million. When I visited the construction site in February 2012, they were still far from being finished. More surprises concerning the costs cannot be ruled out.

More from our recent late afternoon sunset walk along the Spree in Berlin's government district. Usually, I don't like building cranes in an image, but nowadays, they seem to be everywhere, and here, they also define the scene, together with the barge "Edward". They also help to alleviate the scene's sunset sugar coating. It's Berlin, after all ;)
I'm also hoping for a Macro Mondays "Redux" theme, not a "Redo", like last year, because I'd have loved to participate in today's theme ("Toothpicks") but did not have any time at all for a photoshoot due to a tight work schedule (weekend included). So here's another "Monday MM replacement" for "Sliders Monday".
Have a nice week ahead, dear Flickr friends!

When John Batman (who set out from Launceston, Van Diemen's Land) first set eyes on this location on the banks of the Yarra River, as it joined what was to be called Port Phillip Bay, he is said to have remarked, "This will be the place for a village."
And that village has grown and grown and grown ever since 1835. Melbourne now has a population of 5 million people and at current growth rates will overtake Sydney as Australia's largest city within a decade.
Here we see the skyline of the city as the Spirit of Tasmania II approaches Port Melbourne. I wanted to get as wide a shot as possible without a panorama. Perhaps the most striking thing in this skyline is the large number of building cranes. Melbourne truly is a city under 24 hour construction. The sun here is striking the buildings on the foreshore whilst the CBD is somewhat shaded.
One final little bonus. Can you see that speck in the left-hand sky? Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No, it's a helicopter (I'll tag the photo so you won't miss it). Of course, this shot is best seen enlarged.
The BasÃlica i Temple Expiatori de la Sagrada FamÃlia is one of the the tourist attractions in Barcelona.
According to Wikipedia, the construction of this "Church of the Holy Family" began in 1882, when Gaudà subsequently took over the project in 1883 he transformed it with his architectural and engineering style—combining Gothic and curvilinear, Modernisme forms with ambitious structural columns and arches, and including a rich variety of Christian symbols in the design. Gaudà devoted his last years to the project and at the time of his death in 1926, less than a quarter of the project was complete. Sagrada FamÃlia's construction progressed slowly as it relied on private donations and was interrupted by the Spanish Civil War—only to resume intermittent progress in the 1950s. Construction passed the mid-point in 2010 with some of the project's greatest challenges remaining and an anticipated completion date of 2026—the centennial of GaudÃ's death. The basÃlica has a long history of dividing the citizens of Barcelona—over the initial possibility it might compete with Barcelona's cathedral, over GaudÃ's design itself, over the possibility that work after GaudÃ's death disregarded his design, and the recent possibility that an underground tunnel of Spain's high-speed train could disturb its stability.
(Take note how the lens flare is an inverted silhouette of the Space Needle, thought that was really cool).

April 22, 2022 - "The Antwerp Central Station, also known as Middenstatie (Middle station) or Spoorwegkathedraal (Railroad Cathedral), was first used in 1905. The structure is made up from a steel platform covering and a stone station building in an eclectic style. Recently, the station was completely renovated and in 2007 a tunnel underneath the station and a part of Antwerp was opened, reverting the station’s status as a terminus where are all trains have to turn back. In 2009, the American magazine Newsweek chose the Antwerp Central Station as the fourth most beautiful train station in the world.
"The original station building was constructed between 1895 and 1905 as a replacement for the original terminus of the Brussels-Mechelen-Antwerp Railway. The stone clad terminus buildings, with a vast dome above the waiting room hall were designed by Louis Delacenserie and the vast (185 metres long and 44 metres high) iron and glass trainshed by Clement van Bogaert. The viaduct into the station is also a notable structure designed by local architect Jan Van Asperen. The station is now widely regarded as the finest example of railway architecture in Belgium, although the extraordinary eclecticism of the influences on Delacenserie's design had led to a difficulty in assigning it to a particular architectural style. In W. G. Sebald's Austerlitz an ability to appreciate the full range of the styles that might have influenced Delacensiere is used to demonstrate the brilliance of the fictional architectural historian who is the novel's protagonist. In February 2009, the American newspaper 'Newsweek' found that the station deserved a 4th place as world's most beautiful station."
"In 1835 the first train from Brussels to Antwerp arrived in Antwerp in a wooden station outside the city walls, in Koningin Astridplein. This structure was replaced in 1854 by a new wooden station building near the Antwerp Zoo’s current entrance: East Station.
But King Leopold II felt that Antwerp deserved a more prestigious station. In 1895 Bruges-born architect Louis dela Censerie set to work. Ten years later Antwerp’s Central Station was officially inaugurated. The station consists of an elevated railway bed, a covered steel platform hall and a monumental station building for services and ticket hall.
Antwerp’s Central Station is considered one of the most beautiful stations worldwide. Between 2000 and 2009 the monumental building was completely modernised and expanded to accommodate the high-speed rail line. More platforms were opened on two additional underground levels, an additional entrance with station hall was built in Kievitplein and space was created for shops and restaurants. The unique metal platform roof had previously been restored. In the past Antwerp Central Station was a terminus where trains had to turn around. But since 2007, trains can continue their journey thanks to the railway tunnel between Antwerp Central Station and the north of the city."

St Paul's Cathedral, London, is an Anglican cathedral, the seat of the Bishop of London and the mother church of the Diocese of London. It sits on Ludgate Hill at the highest point of the City of London. Its dedication to Paul the Apostle dates back to the original church on this site, founded in AD 604. The present church, dating from the late 17th century, was designed in the English Baroque style by Sir Christopher Wren. Its construction, completed in Wren's lifetime, was part of a major rebuilding programme in the City after the Great Fire of London
The cathedral is one of the most famous and most recognisable sights of London. Its dome, framed by the spires of Wren's City churches, dominated the skyline for 300 years. At 365 feet (111 m) high, it was the tallest building in London from 1710 to 1962. The dome is among the highest in the world. St Paul's is the second largest church building in area in the United Kingdom after Liverpool Cathedral.
St Paul's Cathedral occupies a significant place in the national identity. It is the central subject of much promotional material, as well as of images of the dome surrounded by the smoke and fire of the Blitz. Services held at St Paul's have included the funerals of Lord Nelson, the Duke of Wellington and Sir Winston Churchill; Jubilee celebrations for Queen Victoria; peace services marking the end of the First and Second World Wars; the wedding of Charles, Prince of Wales and Lady Diana Spencer, the launch of the Festival of Britain and the thanksgiving services for the Golden Jubilee, the 80th Birthday and the Diamond Jubilee of Elizabeth II.
St Paul's Cathedral is a working church with hourly prayer and daily services.
