Just before sunset. Nice light behind the factory situated in the Rotterdan harbour. Gave this one in postprocessing a blue shadeas this fits the feeling of the structure. I did not like the "hard" water so I used some motion blur in PS.
Netherlands, Rotterdam, Kop van Zuid, HilleKop, Zuiderster, Facade (uncut)
The facade of Groosman & Partners’ Zuiderster (Southern star) (2009) young people's apartment building. Reflected in its neo-modernist (somewhat deconstructivist, too) façade are the Rijnhaven metro station and The View (under construction). There are, by the way, two sources of reflections: those by the Southern star and those by the glass parts of the metro station facade.
Shot with the Lumx GF 6 and the retractable PZ 14-42 lens, a nicely pocketable ensemble.
This is number 1306 of Minimalism / explicit graphism and 77 of Facades.
Europe, The Netherlands, Zuid Holland, Rotterdam, Kop van Zuid, Wilhelminepier, Mist, De Rotterdam (slightly cut from all sides)
One of the qualities of OMA/Koolhaas’ De Rotterdam 'vertical city' is, notwithstanding the sheer bulk of the edifice, its uncanny ability to be there and kinda not. This is due to its glass facades. And mist always tends to help with this.
Shot from the Veemstraat.
This is number 43 of De Rotterdam.
Europe, The Netherlands, Zuid Holland, Rotterdam Zuid, Kop van Zuid, Trompetjes (cut from all sides)
Testing out the macro capabilities of the Sigma 150 with the lens wide open for the first time. The subject: our 'little trumpets' - or 'saxophones'? ;-)

Years ago I posted a crazy sunset from the Erasmus bridge (www.flickr.com/photos/115540984@N02/40068952212/in/photol...), the bridge that is shown in this image.
I from time to time go back to Rotterdam because it is a completely different city than the rest of NL, and the river the Maas is a jewel, where many nice pictures can be made.
I also went back to Delfshaven (www.flickr.com/photos/115540984@N02/52288337385/in/photol...), i will post that later.
Europe, Netherlands, Zuid Holland, Rotterdam Zuid, Kop van Zuid, Wilhelminaplein, Sculpture (slightly cut)
A structure on the Wilhelmineplein, facing the regional Courthouse which I identified as a sculpture, but I ain't sure it is. There are probably a myriad of metaphoric connections to be made between this structure and a courthouse. But I was not thinking about it when I shot this – the motive was purely graphic, as it often is ;-)
This is number 1325 of Minimalism & explicit Graphism
and 311 of Urban frontiers.
I have shot many photo's of this bridge but this one is unique. They were testing some kind of a projection on the side of the bridge because of new years.

Europe, The Netherlands, Zuid Holland, Rotterdam Zuid, Kop van Zuid, J.P. Bakemakade, Binnenhaven, Vessels (slightly cropped from all sides)
The Binnenhaven was very modern for the time, equipped as it was with steam and hydraulic cranes and coal tips. It was realized by the Rotterdamsche Handelsvereeniging (RHV Lodewijk Pincoffs). At the time, the ports (including the Entrepothaven) were avoided by ships if possible because of the quay dues levied by the RHV (which did not occur in the Dutch ports at the time) and the difficult manoeuvring in and out of the harbour. In 1892, the profitable operation was no longer possible and it was taken over by the municipality of Rotterdam.
Adjacent to the harbour was the infamous Loods (Hall) 24. Nowadays the harbour is partly filled in and used as a berth for yachts and houseboats.
This is number 307 from the Rotterdam Harbour and industry album.

Europe, The Netherlands, Zuid Holland, Rotterdam, Snow, Kop van Zuid, Bikes (uncut)
It's still snowing in Rotterdam. These bikes are snowed in. No problem, I guess. Biking is not smart under these conditions.
In the BG is the Laan op Zuid with its traffic lights.
The little J5 proved to be better weather sealed than I expected. To be able to shoot this one, I had to flip out the screen and this took me some time due to my cold fingers, so the cam got real wet.
This is number 25 of the Rotterdam snow album. And 108 of Nikon 1 (S1 & J5).
