View of St. Petri (St. Peter's Church) from Bergstrasse (Mountain Road). It stands 9.4 meters above sea level the highest point of Hamburg-Alstadt.
Only seven years after the great fire in 1842, the Gothic church was rebuilt by architects Alexis de Chateauneuf and Hermann Felsenfest in its previous location.
The 132 meter high church tower has 544 steps up to a height of 123 meters where portholes offer a good view over the city. The tower with its copper spire designed by Johann Maack was finished in 1878.

Welcome! I am an Artist/Photographer based in Edinburgh, Scotland. My interests are wide and varied and this is reflected in my subject matter. I enjoy finding the beauty in even the most mundane subjects and the challenge of depicting the small details which are sometimes overlooked. Where possible, I research my subjects to give me a better understanding, which in turn allows me to adapt my approach to each one. I do not restrict myself to any particular style or media as this gives me the freedom to create my vision on each individual piece. I hope you enjoy browsing my galleries as much as I have enjoyed creating the works. Copyright © Yvonne Johnstone 2024. All rights reserved. All artwork in this gallery is original and uniquely...
