Picture of the day

A night-time view of the Speicherstadt in Hamburg, Germany. Literally meaning "city of warehouses", the Speicherstadt was built from 1883 to 1927 and was intended as a free zone in which goods could be transferred without paying customs charges. It is the largest warehouse district in the world in which the buildings stand on timber-pile foundations.Photograph: Thomas Wolf
