This image is of the Tea House amidst the "Speicherstadt" in
Hamburg, Germany. This is a UNESCO world heritage site and the
largest historic warehouse district in the world. Built as a tax free
trade zone, it once handled 1/3 of the world's carpet trade. It now
houses primarily creative businesses such as design studios,
media offices, etc. The area is widely popular for its romantic feel
and inspiring qualities.
From my perspective, this image describes how historic sites in
Europe are often not just preserved, but actually integrated and
celebrated in modern life.
