Netherlands - Rotterdam - Cube cubed_flipped
At first glance, other than a slight tweak to the colours, you may think this is identical to my previous upload. Well, you'd be half right........ This is actually a mirrored shot of one half of it, something I thought might add to the slightly surreal nature of the image by removing all the subtle differences in the two halves.
Over the years I've seen many photos of the Piet Blom Cube Houses in Rotterdam, many of them have been a variation from this view. This is my attempt to create something a little different with a fisheye photo of the iconic Rotterdam Cube Houses.

From Wikipedia "Cube houses (Dutch: Kubuswoningen) are a set of innovative houses built in Rotterdam and Helmond in the Netherlands, designed by architect Piet Blom and based on the concept of "living as an urban roof": high density housing with sufficient space on the ground level, since its main purpose is to optimise the space inside. Blom tilted the cube of a conventional house 45 degrees, and rested it upon a hexagon-shaped pylon. His design represents a village within a city, where each house represents a tree, and all the houses together, a forest. The central idea of the cube houses around the world is mainly optimizing the space, as a house, to a better distribution of the rooms inside."
