Europe, The Netherlands, Zuid Holland, Den Haag, Centre (slightly cut from L, R & T)
The centre of Den Haag has been the seat of governmental institutions for a long time. Shown here is the former Landsdrukkerij (State Printer and publisher at the Fluwelen wall (1910), now the Sdu, and behind it, from left to right, the postmodern Zurich office tower tower, aka the 'Citruspers' (Lemon squezer) (1999) César Pelli, the Ministery of Education, Culture & Science (the Hoftoren aka the 'Fluitketel') (the Kettle) (2003) Kohn Pedersen Fox architects and the Ministery of Social - and Employment affairs (Michael Graves, 1998), aka the ’T*ts of The Hague’.

Europe, The Netherlands, Zuid Holland, Rotterdam, Wilhelminakade, World Port Days 2022, Rijkswaterstaat, Rijksrederij, MPV 30 Merwestroom (slightly cut from R,B&T)
The back-facing part of the 360 dgr pilot house of the Rijkswaterstaat MPV30 Merwestroom vessel is shown here. It's obviously digital. There's even a Logitech trackball, the exact model that I used for a few years.
The ship was built by Bijlsma Wartena in 2020 and is used for waterway marking, patrol, measurements and research, specifically for work on the floating waterway markings in the Zeeland waters, the Waddenzee and the IJsselmeer.
In addition to being multifunctional, the MPV-30 is also energy-efficient. It’s equipped with accumulators (batteries) that are large enough to carry out the daily work on the battery pack. Because the motors are used less, energy consumption is low. The ship also has solar panels for, for example, the energy supply in the crew accommodation. Because the ships are not operational at night and are usually in a port, the batteries can be charged with shore power.

The memorial with five herrings is a tribute to the five surfers who were killed on May 11 2020 at the Scheveningen coast, caught by strong winds and foamy waters. The sign is a nod to the Scheveningen coat of arms, which consists of three (crown wearing) herrings.

Europe, The Netherlands, Zuid Holland, Rotterdam Zuid, Tweebosbuurt, Demolition, Rubble, (slightly cut from all sides)
All blocks (except one) are demolished now in the Tweebos quarter. And it takes some time to remove the foundations. Shown here is a remaining part of a relatively modern building that was demolished.
The backstory about the unfortunate demolition of the Tweebosbuurt is here.
This is number 12 of the Demolition of the Tweebosbuurt series here.
Europe, The Netherlands, Zuid Holland, Rotterdam Zuid, Katendrecht, Bundweg/Rijnhaven Zuidzijde, Graffiti (cut from B&T)
Well, what can you expect of good ol‘ Scrooge McDuck in the Katendrecht backwater of defunct businesses, bland (post) industrial facades, second-hand car dealers and workshops. And a casino. Scrooge McDuck is called ´Oom Dagobert Duck´ in Holland and is featured in the alternative comics scene in a wild variety of professional roles, including pimp and pusher. Street artist 1K seems to have followed the lead this place offers ;-)

Europe, The Netherlands, Zuid Holland, Rotterdam, Laurenskwartier, Blaak station, Stairs & escalators (slightly cut from all sides)
Rotterdam Blaak is a multi-modal tram, railway and metro station.
It's the second station bearing the name "Blaak. The first one was located at the elevated luchtspoor that used to bisect Rotterdam. In 1993 the underground "Willemspoor-tunnel" replaced it and the station depicted here was created (design: H.C. Reijnders.
The train station is on the deepest layer, the metro station above it. The trademark lid of the station is made of steel and lexan and has a diameter of 35m.
This is number 668 of Rotterdam architecture and 22 of 7Artisans 7,5 mm fisheye lens.

Europe, The Netherlands, Zuid Holland, Rotterdam, Cool, Coolhaven, Little C (uncut)
Well, what can I say about the 'Little C Lofts & offices' complex in Rotterdam? For graphically inclined photographers like me it’s surely eye candy. But notwithstanding the lofty (pun intended) goals, the architectural choices are debatable. Little C doesn’t aim to be original, it just tries to copy 'New York style' tenements (they do resemble 'The Projects'....) with their external fire staircases and the London Docklands with their skybridges. While doing this, it follows the contemporary 'red industrial brick paradigm' closely. And it is only a partial solution for the big housing scarcity in Holland since it offers no affordable housing.
Little C consists of 15 towers, connected thru skybridges. It offers 320 apartments and 10.000 square metres of office space.
Little C was designed by CULD and Inbo and is the winner of several architectural prizes, one of them praising the liveability and the social cohesion, so maybe I’m being a little grumpy here ;-)
This is number 62 of Facades.
Europe, The Netherlands, Zuid Holland, Rotterdam, Overblaak, Kubuswoningen, Blaakse Bos, Snow (slightly cut)
Happy Holidays to y’all !
For the occasion, I went lookin’ for snow pics on my external HDD and found this one. No one can say that Piet Blom’s architecture is rustic, but some snow shifts it in that direction ;-)
About the architecture: The `Kubuswoningen` (Cube houses), aka the `Blaakse Bos` (Blaak Forrest), have the physical appearance of a set of cubes flipped to one of their vertexes and placed on variable height pillars. It was designed by Dutch architect Piet Blom (1934-1999), who followed his structuralist agenda here, trying to create an integrated urban living space (`Living in an urban roof`' it was called) that both stimulates/facilitates the communal spirit of the dwellers of this urban forest and create a strong rhythmic architectural pattern in the process. In `A structuralist's embrace` here, there’s more about Dutch structuralism.
I'll be off for a while, CU later.

Europe, The Netherlands, Zuid Holland, Rotterdam, Kop van Zuid, Rijnhaven, Mist, Posthumalaan, Cyclist (slightly cut from L, cut fromT).
The redevelopment of the Rijnhaven is progressing. The preparations for the realization of the 'Skyline Posthumalaan' are shown here - it’s gonna be an office/apartment building strip with up to 200m high edifices, with an adjacent park and city beach.
Some background about this old Rijnhaven harour basin. It was created in 1895 to offer shelter for Rhine vessels (rijnaken), when they could not operate due to freezing of the rivers during the winter.
After the creation of the Rijnhaven (Rhine harbour), the transit freight traffic to Rotterdam continued to increase and it was made suitable for large sea-going vessels by deepening it. As planned, the Rijnhaven became an important port for the transhipment of bulk goods 'on stream' - the sea-going vessels were moored on buoys, separate from the quay and their cargo was moved directly to rhine ships. In de 70/80s of the last century, the Rijnhaven lost its transshipment function and was brought back to its old function. In 2015, the rhine ship berths were moved to, among others, the Maashaven. Enabling the redevelopment of the old harbor of which 30% will be filled up. The rest of the harbor will be turned into a floating park: here.

"The World Ports Classic was a two-day European race held between the port cities of Rotterdam and Antwerp, organized by ASO as a 2.1 event on the UCI Europe Tour. The race was held between 2012 and 2015.
In all years except for 2013, the riders started in Rotterdam, finishing the first day in Antwerp before riding in the opposite direction on the second and final day. A leader's jersey was awarded to the winner of the first stage,[1] to be defended on the second stage."

Europe, The Netherlands, Zuid Holland, Den Haag, Laakhavens, Haagse Hogeschool, Auditorium, Atrium (uncut)
Shot in the round atrium / central square of the 'Haagse Hogeschool '(University of Higher Professional Education The Hague) in the Laakhavens quarter, a redeveloped industrial quarter in The Hague. The atrium encircles the yellow iconic auditorium.
The building houses some 1,200 teachers and 17.500students. And the atrium is its heart. It has the function of a covered square where the students gather and then find their way to the various education wings and spaces.
The building (1996) was realized in neo-modernist style and designed by Atelier PRO (Hans van Beek, Leon Thier, René Hoek).

Tijdens onze eerste excursie naar Nederland hadden we 's avonds plaats genomen op de Wieldrechtse Zeedijk.
Eén van de cargo's die toen passeerde, was deze UC met een 6400 in oude kleuren op kop.
-----
Later on the day, whilst standing at the Wieldrechtse Zeedijk, we could spot this mixed freight train with a 6400 in original colour scheme in front of it.
