# Sorry for the TJ just had a mysterious tweet sent to me
'Smug's balcony is at Alsterglacis 7, 20354 Hamburg, looking SE. An hour well spent. Can't post on b3ta #lurker'

Lurkers are always watching. Now just need to find the man himself. The pics look about 15 years old

# Pretty definite proof, that.
Zooming in a bit, the metalwork of the railings looks spot on for the original smug photo.

This has been a really fun day of discovery. :-)

To think, I walked within mere tens of metres of the hallowed balcony when I was in Hamburg!

I have to laugh at the charming view off to the side of the balcony...I seem to recall quite a lot of people living rough around there, so maybe that's what he's so smug about.

Edit: According to a sign in front of the building, it's occupied by HanseMerkur, an insurance company, so it may be difficult to gain access to the balcony.
