A classic view on the cube houses in Rotterdam. I was going for a shot of the harbour on the same location, but with the light that morning it didn’t work out. So this is one of those typical plan B shots, which isn’t always a bad thing however! It was a real challenge to position the camera on the stairs, lens straight up, and find the exact spot for the best symmetry. Shooting with 15mm, literally every inch to the right or left made a distortion. It was a cloudy morning, with just a bit of light coming through and I really like how it slightly brighten the tips of the houses. Although the image worked with the cloudy, and almost flat sky, I decided to create a long exposure effect in PS, which for me just provides that extra interest to the image. A pleasant surprise this morning and the harbour has been put on the list for next year.
Thanks for having a look! All faves and comments are highly appreciated!

The Cube Berlin is an office building at Washingtonplatz in Berlin built in the form of a perfect cube. Opened in 2020, the building is 42,5 high. Its glass facades reflect the surrounding areas at different angles.
The Stuttgart City Library - we missed it on our day trip as it was closed that day. Had to take another round trip train ride from Munich just to see the inside of this building for myself. It was worth it!
The Berlin Cube is a standalone office bloc in Washingtonplatz near Berlin Central Station and alongside the River Spree.
Clad entirely in glass the Berlin Cube measures 42.5 metres in all directions and the facade is covered in a triangulated relief pattern.

Europe, The Netherlands, Zuid Holland, Rotterdam, Overblaak, Kubuswoningen, Blaakse Bos (slightly cut)
The `Kubuswoningen` (Cube houses) aka the `Blaakse Bos` (Blaak forrest) have the phycical appearance of a set of cubes, flipped to one of their vertexes and placed on variable height pillars. It was designed by Dutch architect Piet Blom (1934-1999) who followed his structuralist agenda here, trying to create an integrated urban living space (`Living in an urban roof`' it was called) that both stimulates/facilitates the communal spirit of the dwellers of this urban forest and create a strong rhythmic architectural pattern in the process. In `A structuralist's embrace` here there’s more about Dutch structuralism.
The 7Artisans fisheye was utilized again here. The lens‘ album is here.
For an architecture shot like this, minimalist music is called for, but in this case let’s settle for the basic drumwork of the Cure’s Lol Tolhurst in A forest.
Rubiks Cubes. Little miniature ones, each 1" across.
For Macro Mondays. This week's theme: puzzle. A bit of nostalgia here, who doesn't remember the cube craze.
Happy Macro Monday/ HMM
Stuttgart Library (Stadtbibliothek) interior. Decided to do this one square as it's know in the area as "The Cube". The library is actually a lot bigger than this photo would suggest as represented here is only the 4th through the 8th floors of the building.
Cubes houses reflected
Reflecties van de kubuswoningen
I have checked with a search for the yellow cube houses on Flickr, and have come to the conclusion that this is a special one.
So many pictures of the yellow cube houses, and no reflections in the first pages. Time to make a change and look down to look up.
The weather was completely windstill , not a ripple on the water , no soothing breeze in my face. Later in the morning the wind was coming up a little bit, but not at this moment.
I know the location Oude Haven in Rotterdam well, so I know exactly where to take a picture to see the reflections of the cube houses. So i do admit I have an bit of an advantage here.
Cube houses (Dutch: kubuswoningen) are a set of innovative houses built in Rotterdam. Their architect Piet Blom tilted the cube of a conventional house 45 degrees, and rested it upon a hexagon-shaped pylon. The houses are located on Overblaak Street, right above the Blaak metro station. There are 38 small cubes and two so called 'super-cubes', all attached to each other.
