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.

the macromondays group's theme for today, 8/20, is multicolored and this is probably going to be my choice for posting because i loved the pastels, which i deepened/enhanced when post processing. maybe a little too subtle for many but i do like it a lot. also liked the holographic sequins (see the first comment box), which are probably a closer-in macro but today i am not dithering ~grin~
later, when i have sufficient light, i will post a picture of the whole bowl. (btb, this was a creative suggestion by my DD)
(btb2, the start-shaped ice cube is one and a half inches tall, so it and the dish are about 2 inches top to bottom, two and a half side to side)

personal story behind this cube:
already last century I helped building Open Learning into professional development training.
During my hospitation in the metal workshop, I learnt to drill holes into this cube - which at the time still had a shiny silver finish.
Now more than the cube is rusted...
*as coordinator I was building cooperation between dlfferent professional groups such as teachers, master craftsmen and social workers.
