September. The light is changing. Sunrise is shifting. Mist and the light has a autumn vibe. I like it. Taken from my window.

Luchtsingel Rotterdam, in one step below!

Luchtbrug Rotterdam, in one step below!Repairs in progress. The wood is gone so new planks for safety!
The steps are missing but the view is still there!

One of my favorite photospots is in bad condition, the Luchtsingel. Made of wood the weather and use has made it unsafe in some places for use. But the repairs are in progress. The wood is gone but the view is still there!

During a walk a few days ago I passed this “bar”. Is it the smallest bar in Rotterdam? A streetparty gone or just partygoers full of beer and left the remainder for passers-by dying of thirst…

New year, new rain!

New year, new rain!
New year, new rain!

The year 2023 is just two weeks old but the rainfall is good enough for eight weeks! Roads and streets are flooding and staying inside is the best for this weekend! Enjoy your weekend too!

Picture was taken in my neighbourhood Heliport.

On the corner of Coolsingel – Aert van Nesstraat, the luxury hotel Atlanta is located above the shops there. The hotel was built between 1929 and 1931 to a design by the Hague architect Frans van der Togt in the Art Deco style and officially opened its doors on May 2, 1931. When it was completed in 1931, the hotel contained a double-height café-restaurant. on the ground floor where the shops are now. During the bombing of Rotterdam on 14 May 1940, Hotel Atlanta passed through almost unscathed. My grandfather lived in the streets behind the building before WWII. In the summer when the windows and doors were open because of the heat he could here the music of the orchestra in the restaurant/club. It has been a municipal monument since 1998.

Finally a new picture on the blog! One of the new streetlights on the Coolsingel. This mainstreet had a total makeover. A car lane has been removed and there is much more space for cyclists and pedestrians. In addition, these new street lamps have been installed. A bit 1930s style and of course energy efficient 🙂

Cloudy friday, but its weekend, the city is waiting

This one I took a while ago in april, so a somewhat old pic from a somewhat modern building. This building dates from the seventies, had a makeover but still looks a bit faded. But I liked the “Rotterdam building”. Its in black and white, thats my mood the last few months…
