The old Flakbunker in Hamburg: you can now walk up to to the top and enjoy the fantastic views of the city. Loved it, especially in the rain! 😅

This amazing book just came out, and I received my author’s copy. It has been a massive collaborative affair with many authors and fantastic editors and coordinators. Congratulations to all! I can’t wait to dig into the 567 (!) pages.
