Visitors cast shadows as they walk inside a vast airship hangar hosting a Tropical
Visitors cast shadows as they walk inside a vast airship hangar hosting a Tropical Islands holiday resort near the eastern German village of Brand, 60 kilometres (37 miles) south of Berlin November 19, 2007. The former hangar houses a holiday resort with beach and tropical temperatures -- and at 360 meters long, 210 meters wide and 107 meters high, it is a size big enough to fit in New Yorks Statue of Liberty and eight football pitches.

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, visitors are seen casting long shadows as they stroll inside a vast airship hangar that now serves as a Tropical Islands holiday resort. Located near the quaint eastern German village of Brand, just 60 kilometers south of Berlin, this former hangar has been transformed into an extraordinary vacation destination. As the visitors explore the immense space, their silhouettes create intriguing patterns against the backdrop of towering walls and ceilings. The sheer size of this structure is awe-inspiring – measuring an astonishing 360 meters in length, 210 meters in width, and standing at an impressive height of 107 meters. To put it into perspective, one can imagine fitting New York's iconic Statue of Liberty or even eight football pitches within its colossal dimensions. Once used to house airships soaring through the skies, today it houses something entirely different but equally remarkable: a tropical paradise complete with sandy beaches and balmy temperatures. This unusual combination creates a surreal experience for all who venture inside. The play between light and shadow adds depth to the image while highlighting both the grandeur of human engineering and nature's beauty intertwined within this unique setting. It serves as a reminder that even in unexpected places like old airship hangars, new possibilities can emerge – offering unforgettable experiences for those seeking adventure or simply looking to escape from reality for a while.
