<b>With an average of 450,000 passengers a day, the Hamburg Central station is the busiest in Germany and after the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gare_du_Nord" title="Gare du Nord">Gare du Nord</a> in Paris, the second busiest in Europe. As a landmark of Hamburg, it is rather unsung! All city sightseeing tours take off from here but it never gets mentioned by the tour guides! The imposing architecture forms an impressive backdrop of this cityscape, no wonder I got trapped into painting this complicated structure.</b><br />
