Happy Holidays and Happy New Year!! This is the final video for 2023 on the channel & good timing. Hamburg got dumped on with snow at the start of the holiday season. Perfect for Glühwein and Christmas Markets.
This is a quick visit to the classic Hamburg Christmas Garden light show. Cheers to Oliver Preuss for the suggestion. https://www.instagram.com/o.preuss_photography/
Cheers everyone and see you in 2024!!

And good evening from a winter wonderland in Hamburg Germany we are photographing the Christmas Garden which happens once a year right around Christmas and uh we have got a h of snow here in Hamburg over the last couple days so it’s uh hopefully going to be a
Nice video and it all starts right now let’s [Applause] Go that’s a long time we staying in heaven wait for like Christmas no they they leaving before Christmas All right so yes welcome to uh Winter Wonderland Christmas Paradise here in North Germany Hamburg has been dumped on with snow the last couple days and it just makes for a perfect Christmas season this is the best win win conditions that Hamburg has seen for a couple of years it’s feeling very much
Like a Canadian winter at the moment which is beautiful perfect timing for the Christmas markets and uh and this beautiful Christmas season hope you guys are enjoying the holidays wherever you are back home and for most of you watching I think you know that Christmas is a big deal in Germany Christmas
Markets glue Vine which is mold wine uh brat of course lots of uh heavy heavy food and uh just a Christmas cheer all around people really enjoy celebrating Christmas here here and uh this light show is put on by uh the city of Hamburg I think uh this has got quite a history
To it and it’s relatively popular spot I’ve never been here but with this much snow my buddy Oliver who’s with me here uh was like hey do you want to go check it out and I said yeah 100% it’s uh it’s been on my list for a while and this is
One of the main shots Chinese Pavilion got these amazing foreground interest covered in snow just looks like almost fake to be honest it looks really really cool so we got a couple of nice shots on this nice compositions you tell me what you think and we’ll explore a little bit More our journey here continues and it looks like you know all these light installation setups are on a timer of course with music very nice touch and uh they’re pretty incredible we’ve uh We’ve stuck by a couple of them now and sort of watched the the circuit go around uh
So that we get an idea of when we want to pH photograph and when all the lights are sort of on and with that example of that tree you know right now it’s just starting again where the whole thing lights up and then it goes through its
Sort of cycle so very very cool definitely uh um kind of weird photos in a way like they they’ve got that sort of like art installation feel to them um but this snow it just this is what makes it you know we’ve got probably at least 15 20 cm of fresh powder absolutely
Perfect it it does remind me a lot of C um and beautiful so yeah Winter Wonderland in Hamburg man being a super tourist right now super super Tourist [Applause] And sadly we have just been kicked out of the Christmas Garden so we did overstay our welcome by about half an hour uh just to get rid of the crowds it was much much better in sort of the last like 45 minutes um once people were kind
Of out of the way you guys know how it is when you visit kind of touristy areas it can be hard to get a good photo but alas I think we got some unique stuff here and uh big thanks to Mr Oliver just out of the frame it was a uh very good
Idea to do this in the snow and uh a very unique video too so hope you guys have enjoyed that kind of christmy holiday Vibes to this one and uh good timing because I want to wish all of you guys Happy Holidays happy New Year hope
You’re enjoying the uh the time off off work and the time to uh to enjoy with friends and family and it’s going to be uh yeah hopefully an interesting start 2024 as well so I’m going to leave this one as the last video for 2023 and I
Will see you next year in uh the next video all right Peace He
