Rotterdam celebrates "the city
The Stairs as a red carpet to the reconstruction of the city
From mid-May to mid-June, Rotterdam gets a temporary new eye-catcher: a giant stairs with 180 steps from Stationsplein, right in front of Groot Handelsgebouw. The scaffolding system, an idea by architects MVRDV, is a nod to 75 years of rebuilding the city, which is celebrated this year with the cultural event Rotterdam celebrates the city! The Stairs will be officially opened on 16 May by Mayor Ahmed Aboutaleb and will remain open until 12 June. Everyone is welcome to visit from 10:00 to 22:00. Admission is free.
Charlotte has been very busy.

Before we leave Kenya, here an impression of Kenya scaffolding. There is a lot of diversity in the world (which makes the world an interesting place), also in Health and Safety regulations.
Here they are building a high rise flat. And talking about flats, I was told by a reliable source that many flats in Nairobi are owned by policemen. This would not amaze me, being one of the most corrupt police forces in the world they must invest their "earnings" somewhere. www.culturalsurvival.org/news/campaign-update-kenya-polic...
I work very close to the Tate Modern and witness how the construction of its extension is taking shape on a daily basis. The scaffolding used for the brick cladding install, is itself a piece of modern art that is in continuous evolvement that is a constant pleasure to the eye and is frequently photographed by the passers by.
To view more of my images, of Walberswick, please click "here" !
Walberswick is a village on the Suffolk coast in England, across the River Blyth from Southwold. Coastal erosion and the shifting of the mouth of the River Blyth meant that the neighbouring town of Dunwich was lost as a port in the last years of the 13th century. Following a brief period of rivalry and dispute with Dunwich, Walberswick became a major trading port from the 13th century until World War I. Almost half of the properties in the village are holiday homes. A small rowing boat ferries passengers across the river Blyth to Southwold during the high season. The name Walberswick is believed to derive from the Saxon Waldbert – probably a landowner – and "wyc" meaning shelter or harbour. At the top of the village is the 15th century St. Andrew's Church. The size of the St. Andrew's ruins demonstrate how large the parish once was. The name 'Walleburyswyke', appearing in a Latin legal record, dated 1440, may refer to the village. With over 1,000 acres (4 km2) of heath and marshland protected within the Suffolk Coast and Heaths Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, Walberswick has good varied local habitats for birds. The village and surrounding beach and marshland have long attracted residents drawn from the arts, film and media. In the 1890s and 1900s the village became associated with Philip Wilson Steer and his circle of English Impressionists. It was home to the noted artist and architect Charles Rennie Mackintosh from 1914. It was also the birthplace of Oscar nominated documentary film maker Humphrey Jennings famous for his World War II documentaries. The World War Two defences constructed around Walberswick have been documented. They included a number of pillboxes, landmines and flame fougasse installations. The beaches were protected with extensive barriers of scaffolding. The ornate metalwork village sign on the Green is a replica of the one erected in 1953 to commemorate the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II. The original sign went missing in the 1980s but after changing hands has since been returned and restored to mark the Queen's Diamond Jubilee. The restored sign has been erected opposite the church. Considering its size, an inordinate number of British celebrities own or have owned holiday homes in the village including the late Sir Clement Freud and his wife Jill, and their daughter, Emma Freud and her husband Richard Curtis. Martin Bell, and Geoffrey Palmer, maintain properties here while Paul Heiney and Libby Purves live nearby. Film director Paul Greengrass has a house in the village, as does ITV's Director Peter Fincham. The village is the setting for Esther Freud's novel, The Sea House, thinly disguised as 'Steerborough' - presumably a coded reference, or in-joke, towards one-time resident, Philip Wilson Steer (see above). Esther Freud, the cousin of Emma Freud and daughter of painter Lucian Freud, also has a house in the village with her husband, actor David Morrissey. The village was famous for its annual crabbing competition - The British Open Crabbing Championship, last held in August 2010. The person who caught the single heaviest crab within a period of 90 minutes was declared the winner. The proceeds supported many charitable causes. A derelict windmill stands on the marshes near Walberswick. The area around the village makes up the Suffolk Coast National Nature Reserve, a protected area on 1,340 hectares (3,300 acres) with a range of wetland and heathland habitats.

Treasure Hunt #58 Scaffolding
Thank you to everyone who pauses long enough to look at my photo. Any comments or Faves are very much appreciated.
The dome on the Capitol Building is under restoration.
"The United States Capitol Dome, symbol of American democracy and world-renowned architectural icon, was constructed of cast iron more than 150 years ago. The Dome has not undergone a complete restoration since 1959-1960 and due to age and weather is now plagued by more than 1,000 cracks and deficiencies."
What started as replacing a number of roof tiles, has revealed patches of rotten battens and timbers.

The more I look at scaffolding the more I get convinced that among seemingly ordinary builders there must be a few artists. Look closely at the scaffolding: see the designs, the patterns, the colours. It isn't all for "health & safety" regulations, is it? This is the work of an artist. So next time you see apparently ugly pieces of metal covering a building, do pause and appreciate the art!
