The One Who Shall Not Be Named (TOWSNBN) refutes my "undistinctive Hamburg" comments and suggests that the Harbor and the Alster make Hamburg unique, special...and distinctive. When he asked me to name another city that has a lake smack in the middle of it, I fumbled and guessed...Salt Lake City? (Nice try, right? But, sorry, no lake according to Google Maps.) Okay, I give in. TOWSNBN has a point. The Harbor and Alster are incredible. At night the lights at the Harbor spectacularly set the docks aglow. White sail boats punctuate the blue expanse of the two lakes during sunny days.
But I stand by pretentious.
At least for now.

Central Park is in the middle of NYC and there is a lake in the middle of Central Park.
yes, good one, allan. boston also has a park with a lake in in. what makes hamburg's lakes special are the sheer scale of them. i'll have to look up size comparisons, to be sure i'm telling it like it is. :)
