something contemporary for a change, as i have only been uploading last year's photos recently.
this morning's view towards kager plassen lakes from under the boterhuismolen windmill near leiderdorp, zuid holland, netherlands
used an nd1000 filter to extend the exposure to three minutes. i'm not a fan of this fad (abusing strong nd filters to replace understanding of light and creativity) and am glad it finally seems to be going away (especially the habit of abusing nd1000 and toning everything to b&w bcz yeah... otherwise it's all blue, isn't it :D ). but here i kinda had this gut feeling that it may work with the mist steaming off from the polder and spilling over water. so i decided to waste 3 minutes of my life :)
on the side note: yeah, i know it'd work fine in 4:3 or even 1:1 ratio and toned to b&w. that would be two steps too many on my "fashionable" radar. there's still plenty of "visual artists" who manufacture this sort of shots, even here on flickr :/ maybe in 5 years time i will come to the point of forgiveness :)

It's fall on our modernist balcony. Some plants (the Campanula in the FG) and the Picapeixe (the metal 'IJsvogel' - Alcedo atthis) are still holding on. :-)

Brouwersdam, between the islands of Goeree Overflakkee and Schouwen-Duiveland, on the border of the provinces of Zuid-Holland and Zeeland, The Netherlands.

This breakwater is part of the Brouwersdam, the seventh of the Dutch Delta Works. Started in 1965 and finished in 1971, it has closed off the connection between the North Sea and the Brouwershavense Gat, thus protecting the islands of the Dutch provinces of Zuid-Holland and Zeeland against major floods.

Europe, The Netherlands, Zuid Holland, Rotterdam Zuid, Kop van Zuid, Katendrecht, Bay House (slightly cut from B)
The mid-rise construction on display here, will be Bayhouse, a luxury residential building with apartments, marionettes and penthouses in the € 675.000,- € 2.200.000 price range. Ah, another missed chance to build affordable in Rotterdam. The project was once called The View
This is number of the Urban Frontiers, for the building is on the site where once the Fenix vemen (harbour storage buildings). Together with the Rijnhaven, they lost their function and were demolished in 2007.
Europe, Netherlands, Zuid Holland, Rotterdam, Coolsingel, Coolse Poort, Groosman & partners (uncut)
The ‘Coolse Poort’ office building (Rob van Erk (Groosman & Partners, 1979) is a Rotterdam landmark. Not in a strictly positive way. During the planning stage, the city council discussed the building and the underlying urbanistic concept. The post- WW2 ‘ wederopbouw’ (reconstruction) of the city was well underway and this had led to the construction a slew of high rise office buildings. It was part of the city’s initial high rise policy’, an essential part of the functionalistic city plan that was based on the separation of functions. Severely curtailing the livability of the city centre.
The discussion eventually led to an urbanistic policy shift through new zoning rules, which ordered the direct context of office high rises to be low rises with non-office and preferable recreational functions. In the case of the Coolse poort, 'De Veste' was realized next to it (demolished in 1995): a small-scale multiplex cinema ('Alhambra, the last years of its life a 'riksbioscoop' (all tickets 1,25 Euro)), a discotheque and two restaurants. A few years later, high-rise policy 2.0 was introduced, favouring high-rise apartment buildings over office ones and assuring a 'repopulation' of the city centre. A recent result of this policy is the previous post, the Karel Doorman, which is placed on top of a 'Wederopbouw' department store.
After the 'Coolse Poort' was constructed, the public knew what to do and called it the ‘Rode biet’ (Beet root) and the ‘Aubergine’ (Eggplant) because of the hues of the aluminium and glass panels in the façade.
As an element of the ongoing Hart 010 redevelopment plan, the building is being transformed while retaining the architecture from 1965-1990. The facade and plinths will be renewed according to the original design. The transformed building will provide hotel, office, and retail space.
This is number 744 of the Rotterdam architecture album.

Europe, The Netherlands, Zuid Holland, Rotterdam Zuid, Rijnhaven, Terraforming, Ground layering, Clay granules (uncut)
In the previous Rijnhaven redevelopment picture, I showed ground consolidation, the last phase of creating new land. What is shown here is the preparation of the new land to successfully grow plants (a park, in this case) by adding a layer of clay granules.
In the BG right, with its waterslide-like superstructure, is the Fenix 2 veem, which is being developed into the Landverhuizers (Emigration) museum.
This is number 21 of the Rijnhaven - the redevelopment album and 301 of Zwart/Wit.

Europe, The Netherlands, Zuid Holland, Rotterdam Zuid, Fall, Rotterdamse Munt, Esdoorn, Maple, Façade (slightly cut from B&T)
At the Rotterdamse Munt gardening project, it's fall.
The garden is tightly embedded in the Feijenoord urbanization on its eastern side. Where once the Rotterdam-Dordrecht main railway line dissected the then very much delipidated Feijenoord quarter, the railway was put underground (the Rotterdamse Munt is on top of the long tunnel), and the old buildings were torn down—urban renewal at its purest.

Europe, The Netherlands, Zuid Holland, Leiden, Stationsplein, Highrises (slightly cut from B&T)
Leiden’s Stationsplein quarter has been radically transformed. The cafés and discos, where once the youth from Rijnsburg en Katwijk went to drink & fight, have been replaced by large-scale developments, in this case, The Lorentz (Neutelings Riedijk). The top part is an upscale apartment building, and in the dark red four-storey plinth, there are studios and commercial spaces (including Heineken’s head office) and a café. The ensemble is neo-modernist with a post-modern twist.
Europe, The Netherlands, Zuid Holland, Rotterdam, Blijdorp Zoo, Western Lowland Gorillas (slightly cut from all sides)
Shown here are Aya and her child Ajubu(=wonder). They are Western Lowland Gorillas. Aya (a daughter of deceased (2023) Bokito) was bothered by the growing group of visitors right before them. She effortlessly slung Ajubu over her shoulder and walked away,
About the Blijdorp Western Lowland Gorillas. After the death of Silverback Bokito, Blijdorp Zoo is ‘phasing out’ (tranferring them to other Zoos or their natural habitat) the western lowland gorillas. One of the reasons is that all the gorillas living in European Zoos belong to this group. It’s dicussed here: Blijdorp faseert gorilla’s uit: de wetenschap achter een lastige keuze. (sorry, only Dutch).
This is number 20 of the Blijdorp Zoo album.

Europe, The Netherlands, Zuid Holland, Rotterdam, Maasboulevard, High rises, Rhine cruise boat (slightly cut from T)
The high rises on display here are a direct consequence of Rotterdam's 'high rise policy'. What's that? In the 80s, it had become evident that the strictly functionalistic urban design of the city centre of post-2nd World War Rotterdam didn't cut it any more. In the first post-war decades, it did enhance functionality, offering a clear break from the congestion and other development problems of the pre-war city centre. And its morphology offered the symbolism of a brave new world. However, due to the post-war social-economic boom and the rise of consumerism, the strict segregation of living, business and administration made the city's heart feel like a place that didn't seem to live and breathe.
It was simply too high on business and too low on living and recreation. One program to rectify this was the R'dam high-rise policy, which involved the insertion of a series of high-density, up-market apartment buildings in and near the city centre.
The building in the middle is 'Terraced Tower' (OZ Architects, 2021), a mid- to high-rent residential tower.
On the right and behind it are the highrises of the Wijnhaveneilend with the 'Red Apple'. On the left is the Clubhouse Boompjes (under construction, Team V architects).
The ´Alena´Rhine cruise boat at the bottom of the frame offered a nice counterpoint to all this unbridled verticalism. ;-) To the right of its bow is the (of course, yellow) finish of the second stage of the Tour de France Femmes.
This is number 746 of Rotterdam Architecture.
