Een stukje monument (of versiering) van het oude Centraal Station in Rotterdam heeft een plek gekregen in het nieuwe station. Stukje na-oorlogse wederopbouwnostalgie in moderne setting.
Highlighting the Kaiser Wilhelm Monument
Shortly after the death of Kaiser Wilhelm I, the idea arose to erect a memorial to the Kaiser, who had brought about the complete unification of Germany after three wars. Three years later, in 1891, Kaiser Wilhelm II, the grandson of the deceased, chose the Deutsches Eck in Koblenz as a suitable location. In order to create space for the memorial, a port of refuge was filled in, which at that time was located at the mouth of the Moselle. The Deutsches Eck in its present form was created.

Here we are at the top, looking back at the monument. The last time we were here was in December last year in the snow. What a difference a few months has made to the weather up here, it was much warmer. That said there was still a wind blowing from the south west, although it wasn’t cold, it was strong enough to create sea like waves on top of the cup of coffee we stopped for, sat on the rocks just to the left of the monument. Maybe next time we’re here it will be nice enough to bring a cold drink instead of a hot flask, one can hope.
Thank you for your visit and your comments, they are greatly appreciated.
Alan Freed coined the phrase rock & roll back in 1951. This is the back side of his monument. It is a jukebox with incredible detail.
These photos were taken from the cabins (where we stayed two nights) at Monument Valley on the first evening. The best room with a view we had on our trip!
Retiro Pond
Retiro Pond, or ‘Estanque del Retiro’ in Spanish, is a large, artificial lake located near the park’s northern entrance. There is the possibility to rent rowboats, which is a very popular activity on the weekends. Next to the lake stands the impressive Alfonso XII Monument that consists of a semicircular colonnade and a huge pedestal with an equestrian statue of the king on top.
