Himeji Castle Reflection in Hamburg Concrete Lobby

White walls and curved roofs of Himeji Castle appear within the ribbed concrete lobby in Hamburg during late afternoon. Soft overcast light diffuses across the wet floor, where a light drizzle outside creates a shimmering surface. The polished concrete shows the structure as a mirrored composition, duplicating the architectural curves against the gray ribs. Late spring moisture rests on the glass separating the interior from the exterior, blurring the boundary between the Japanese castle and the German building. A faint electric excitement hums in the contrast between the historic white stone and the industrial gray ribs. The reflection ends sharply at the edge of a concrete pillar.
