You step out onto a quay and the Elbe dares you to look downstream: shipping cranes cut a mechanical skyline, while a few gulls argue over a scrap of light. The van slides past brick-red warehouses of the Speicherstadt, through HafenCity where glass faces the river, and into quieter lanes of Eppendorf and Blankenese where merchant villas watch the water.
