The old coastal dunes [see image below] have been levelled and the windmills that used to mark out the old coastline have been demolished. Especially for odd transitional landscape photos like this I started a new set called Dutch Desert.

The Kop van Zuid court building, the extension of the Nieuwe Luxor parking and the access ramp of the Floating office, form the backdrop for the barges and other heavy material that's used to install the 'Nieuwe warmteweg' - About this initiative:
Nieuwe warmteweg (New heat route)
In the port of Rotterdam, a lot of heat is released during industrial processes. A large part of this residual heat is discharged into surface water or disappears into the atmosphere, while this heat is still very suitable for heating houses or businesses. This is the idea behind the heat grid: to use residual heat elsewhere usefully via a new transport network.
This network runs from the waste incineration/power plant of AVR-Van Gansewinkel in Rozenburg to the heart of Rotterdam. The network consists of a supply and discharge pipe and is divided into a northern and southern branch. The heat is 'released' to the district heating networks of Nuon and Eneco.
The heat network is designed in such a way that other companies can also purchase or supply heat along the entire route. It can also be linked to other renewable energy sources such as geothermal energy, biomass and solar energy. Two pumping stations, one in Hoogvliet and one at the Groene Kruisweg, ensure that the pressure and therefore the transport speed of the water in the network remains sufficiently high. Furthermore, there are huge buffer tanks with hot water in two places along the network to be able to absorb peaks in heat demand. The capacity of the network is sufficient to heat 50,000 households. The useful use of residual heat reduces CO2 emissions from 70 to 80 kilotons annually.
The first part of the transport network consists of steel pipes with a diameter of five hundred millimetres. The north and south branches of the network have steel pipes with a diameter of four hundred millimetres.
All tubes have a roughly one hundred millimetres thick insulating purfoam sheath, surrounded by an outer layer made of polyethene. The pipes used for the river and harbour crossings have steel outside covers. In the well-insulated mantle, there are leak detection wires that detect moisture that penetrates in case of external damage.

Geschiedenis
De molen heeft een bewogen geschiedenis. Uit het gemeentearchief blijkt dat de achtkantige bovenkruier in 1794 werd gebouwd in opdracht van Jan Anthony Prijn en zijn echtgenote Stephana Zodaar.
Houtzaagmolen
Diverse houthandelaren waren de afgelopen eeuwen eigenaar van De Salamander. Eén van hen was zelfs burgermeester van het dorp. Eind 19e eeuw werd de molen gemoderniseerd en voorzien van een vier zaagramen. Om ook bij windstilte te kunnen zagen, werd een stoommachine geplaatst; deze is in 1938 vervangen door een grotere.
Herstel en verval
De molen raakte begin 20e eeuw in verval, hij werd in opdracht van de laatste eigenaar (Fijn-houthandel en Zagerij J. Koerts N.V.) weer hersteld en bleef tot 1953 volop in bedrijf. Ondanks de aanwijzing als Beschermd Monument in 1971, was er van de molen begin jaren ’80 van de 20e eeuw nog slechts een bouwval over.
Tweede leven
In 1985 volgde de ommekeer. De oprichting van de Stichting Opbouw Salamander (S.O.S.) zorgde ervoor dat de restanten van de molen bewaard bleven en herbouw in de toekomst mogelijk was. De molen werd gedemonteerd en opgeslagen. Dankzij de financiële bijdragen van overheden, bedrijven en particulieren, kreeg De Salamander een tweede leven.
De molen werd in 1989 herbouwd op een nieuw stuk grond in het oude balkengat. Voor de restauratie is o.a. gebruik gemaakt van het originele achtkante geraamte. In 1990 was de molen uitwendig compleet, maar de herbouw van het zaaggedeelte en de winderij (voor het verplaatsen van de stammen) duurde nog enkele jaren. Op 25 oktober 1995 kon voor het eerst weer - na ruim 40 jaar stilstand - met windkracht een boomstam worden gezaagd. Bij windstilte kan m.b.v. een elektromotor worden gezaagd. Op de molen wordt hout gezaagd voor parketvloeren, meubels, scheepsrestauratie en koets- en wagenbouw.
Zwarte schuur
Bij de herbouw werd de oorspronkelijk grijze zaagschuur zwart geschilderd om te doen voorkomen dat de schuur met zwarte teer was behandeld. Dit bleek funest voor het houtwerk te zijn. Bij zonneschijn liepen de temperaturen te hoog op. Om het onderhoud makkelijker te maken werd de schuur in 2007 na herstel grijs geschilderd.
Men kan vriend of sponsor worden van Stichting De Salamander.
Op 10 september 2016 werd het gerestaureerde aandrijfwerk van de oorspronkelijke stoommachine in gebruik genomen.

Europe, Netherlands, Zuid Holland, Rotterdam, Schouwburgplein, Rotterdam viert de stad, Giant baby (uncut)
The giant baby (height: 15 m, weight: 2 tons) with its articulated aluminum space frame (design: Edith Gruson / ProArtDesign) is the symbol of a festival that’s going on in our town: Rotterdam celebrates the city (Rotterdam viert de stad). The city is celebrating 75 years of reconstruction (after the destruction of the city centre in WW2) with this cultural event. The Rotterdam of today is celebrated while looking to the city of the future. A video about the creation of this art installation is here.
On the left of the giant baby is the Schouwburg (Wim Quist, 1988), on the right is the Caplypso (Alsop Architects, 2012) high rise apartment building.
Check out the program of the event here.
Europe, The Netherlands, Zuid Holland, Rotterdam, Wilhelminapier, Fotomuseum, Rotterdam Werkt exposition (cut from B& T)
The Rotterdam Werkt exposition's unfortunate Covid19 context, alas sees to it that it's not visited by many people. Like in other musea you have to book a time slot in advance and in the mueseum there's a routing that prevents people from bumping in to each other. By consequence, a visit is very much safer than a trip to the local supermarket.
And the exposition is fabulous. The meuseum wrote the following about it:
"Rotterdam works! takes you on a journey through the evolution of the city’s ports as well as businesses that were normally closed to outsiders. Visitors will be able to see many previously unseen photographs and film footage of people, buildings, events, and life in the city. This traffic sign is more or less the begin of the route,
Just for this exhibition, the photos on display have been temporarily taken from the collections of contemporary photographers, the Nederlands Fotomuseum, the Rotterdam City Archives, the Royal Collections of the Netherlands, the company archives of Nationale-Nederlanden, Heineken, de Bijenkorf, and many more. Together, they show a city that is always in motion and constantly changing while also telling the story of photography as it has developed from 1864 to the present."
This is number 13 of the Nederlands Fotomuseum album and 21 of In times of Corona .

that's the Gravestenenbrug to the left, a classic Dutch lift-bridge; it's name apparently means "gravestones bridge," so there must be a story there....

The Sand Motor is a huge volume of sand that has been applied along the coast of Zuid-Holland at Ter Heijde in 2011. Wind, waves and currents will spread the sand naturally along the coast of Zuid-Holland. The Sand Motor will gradually change in shape and will eventually befully incorporated into the dunes and the beach. The coast will be broader and safer.
View the film about the construction of the Sand Motor.
Europe, Netherlands, Zuid Holland, Dordrecht, Wantij, Villa Augustus, Kitchen, Kitchen crew (cut from T & B)
A dinner or lunch at the lovey hotel restaurant 'Villa Augustus' here always takes a bit longer ...one simply has to visit the vegatable garden (with its green houses) and mini-orchard and admire the architecture: the former water tower (the hotel) (1883) and pumping station (the restaurant) (1933) of the former water purification facility of the municpality of Dordrecht. It's an excellent example of Industrial redevelopment.
