The medieval port crane and the Motława river quay with reflections after dark.
The historic Crane on the Motława river is Gdańsk's best-known waterfront landmark, in Pomeranian Voivodeship, Poland. The quay gives clear views of the river, moored boats and the brick facades. Blue hour reflections work best from the opposite bank. A tripod helps with long exposures of lit water.
