this one was a long process to edit since I changed the color of the fabric in the background from red to green but also the metal cubes would reflect the red in them. I also had to cut and paste some of the cubes.

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.

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.
We had some scaffolding put up around our flat today, ready for our windows to be replaced next week. The guys that erected it were honestly the quietest, most pleasant scaffolders ever! It's very odd looking out the windows onto our new 'balcony' (my wishful thinking). Tim rigged up a couple of security cameras this evening, so we won't have to be too paranoid about someone potentially using it for nefarious purposes.
Had a good work day. I was due to have another four hours of training this afternoon, but our trainer wasn't feeling too great, so we cut it to an hour and postponed the rest to another day. Pretty handy to win back a few hours to get on top of other stuff.
Went for a lovely summery walk after work. I'd started earlier than usual (due to the scaffolders coming early), so managed to finish at a decent time, too. Had a nice traipse around the heath in the early evening sun.

I saw this church from the Piazza Leonardo Gallucci in Guarno in the Commune of Aprigliano and decided to inspect. I naturally had to climb. This is Calabria, after all. Fortunately, there were stairs. Marcus and I could not find the Municipio in Guarno, our ultimate destination in Aprigliano, and had given up finding my Grandfather's original birth record. On reaching the top of the steps, I found the Municipio opposite the church. Curiosity pays!
What started as replacing a number of roof tiles, has revealed patches of rotten battens and timbers.
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."

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!
