This 2007 work of art can be found at the Zwarte Paardenstraat (Black Horse Street) in Rotterdam. It is designed by Kata Núñez and called Trotamundo and is meant to symbolize the globalization and multicultural character of the street.
Small question: can you spot the birds? :-)

Artist: Hans van Benthem
Place: Escher Museum (The former Winter Palace of Queen Mother Emma of the Netherlands)
The Hague
Biography
Born in 1965, The Hague, The Netherlands. Graduated from Royal Academy of Fine Art (KABK), The Hague
Works in China, Czech Republic and West-coast of Africa; lives in Amsterdam.
What inspires Hans van Bentem can be almost anything. A pop song, local skills in Jingdezhen or a character of the Muppet show, most likely Beaker, the long-suffering assistant who was named after a piece of laboratory tool.
Since 1990 Van Bentem has been producing large-scale sculptures. In 1990, 1992 and 1994 he received national grants (Fonds voor de Beeldende Kunsten (BKVB)).
Hans van Bentem is stimulated, once also by the punk movement, to tease our bourgeois habit to link art to a logical narrative. [As a boy the Dutch artist constructed do-it-yourself kits to take up the world.] Rough, fragile and smooth are his 2 meters high dildos made from Venetian glass in very soft light pink or light blue colors.
Hans van Bentem is not only playing with clichés but can be quite intelligent in displaying a strong sensitivity to the intended sites for his work. In his major exhibition, at the Gemeente Museum Den Haag (The Municipal Museum of The Hague), Hans van Bentem filled up six style rooms, ranging from an original Louis XV style chamber to a lacquer interior of a Japanese Room, this latter space used as a setting for an installation of his porcelain sculptures of various body parts on a ceramic bed of lotus flowers, stones and lumps of rock.
His 14 contemporary crystal sculptures that are in the collection and permanently on view in the Escher Museum in The Hague (a shark, a spider and a sea horse and other works) bear great testimony to their site-specific character. In this former Winterpalace of Queen mother Emma that was officially used by the Royal family until the 1990’s, the crystal sculptures incorporate allusions both to the history of the building and to the gifted artist M.C. Escher.

update juni 2013: Drie waaghalzen maken een basejump vanaf het dak van dit gebouw! Zie www.ad.nl/ad/nl/1012/Nederland/article/detail/3457337/201...
This is one of the buildings of the Shipping and Transport College in Rotterdam. It is the only specialist college providing training for the shipping and transport branches.
This building is located on the Lloyds Pier in the Schie Harbour.
The city of Rotterdam is busy turning this old part of the Port of Rotterdam into a modern place to live and work. It's named Lloydkwartier (Lloyd's Quarters).
More pictures to follow ;-) Keep an eye on my Rotterdam picture set.
This picture featured on Explore on 12 November 2008, thank you!
Here's the same building but from a different point of view and here's a long exposure version taken on a nice summer's evening.

Thank you Bart Peeters for this very powerful response.
May I invite you to click here to listen to this inspiring song, brought during a panel talk about the terror attacks in Brussels with various experts.

Heaven (Bart Peeters)
Freely translated lyrics:
You won’t find virgins there
No spoons of gold
Those holy scriptures
are confusing and old
It is not written
that every fool
can abuse and murder
in the name of God
Because God is love
and certainly not hatred
no cause for abuse,
or a fake caliphate.
It is written in the Bible
and in the Qu'ran:
without love, heaven cannot exist.
Fiddling with nonsense,
Divide and conquer.
History repeats itself.
But we are stubborn...
The world runs square.
And the solution inflexible.
If the Earth had eyes,
they’d be sad.
For God is love,
And certainly not hatred.
No cause for abuse,
or a fake caliphate.
It is written in the Bible
And in the Qur’an:
Without love, heaven cannot exist
Without love, heaven cannot exist...

toeristen in Delft.
Duidelijk te zien het type toerist dat Delft gebruikt als training voor een 14 daagse trekkingstocht over de toppen van de Himalaya. De toeristenbussen moeten eind dit jaar op 600 meter van het centrum geparkeerd worden. De rest mag men lopen. De reisbureaus dreigen nu Delft te schrappen als bestemming omdat een Delfts bezoek veel langer gaat duren. Wie weet er nog een gratis cursus integrale beleidsvorming voor de/het gemeente/gemeentebestuur van Delft.

De DE6308 trekt de PET-trein door Bouwel. Wat hier opvalt is dat de loc zijn bijzonderheid kwijt is, namelijk van de witte randen rond de koplampen. Die witte randen waren gekomen door de herstelling van de loc door een ongeval op lijn 24. Dan is de loc lang herstelt geweest en terug gekomen rood geschilderd. Een aantal maanden geleden zat deze dan in een ongeval in Zeebrugge en kon hij terug hersteld worden. Dan heeft ook hij de standaard koplampen van Crossrail gekregen.

Gustav Klimt (Austria, 1862-1918) made 3 paintings on demand from the Vienna University in the period 1900-1907, amongst which "Die Philosophie". A big row started after completion, and the works were not accepted for public display. Klimt withdraw his assignment and the paintings, which came into possession of collectors. During WW-1 these were stored for safety in an Austrian castle, which was set to fire by retreating SS-forces at the end of the war, destroying all works.

Europe, Netherlands, Gelderland, Arnhem, Historische kelders, Obsession exposition (slightly cut form all sides)
With the time we had between the end of a fab Hoge Veluwe biking trip and a reserved table a the very nice Look restaurant, we visited the Historische Kelders In there were still some objects of the Obsession exposition. It was a somewhat weird scene.
The collection where the Obsession expo was based on is from sociologist Herman Boeije
