Hi all

Just wanted to share some pictures from Rotterdam that I liked
I'd lobe to get some feedback :

1: Cube Houses


2: Willemswerf Building


3: Erasmus bridge's mast

Wonderful architectural shots. The first and last have particularly nice lighting. Could not fathom how one would live in a 'cube house'. Thanks for sharing.

So, you're a software engineer from Finland who likes photography and visits my country and doesn't even drink a beer with me? I hate that And I love Finland for raising the band Nightwish

Nice shots of Rotterdam! Although I'm more fond of the old dutch architecture, there is some really awesome futuristic stuff in Rotterdam!
Thanks for sharing!

Whoa.

That's some pretty rad architecture.

Very nice shots. Escher-y.

Comments from another 'Dutchie':

I like the composition of 2 and 3 !
Living in the Cubes would not attract me... Actually, anywhere NEAR Rotterdam is not attractive to me....

I would have 'photoshopped out' the little lamp post at the bottom of pic #2

Kind regards,

ummmm - my mind is having a hard time processing the living quarters in the cube houses. Very unique indeed.

I really like the light you've captured on the bridge - interesting composition also.

Very nice geometric shapes and colors. I love the colors in the first photo.

Congratulations - great shots!
These are excellent photos - I like them a lot. Could the shot of the Willemswerf Building be improved by cropping out the street light and correcting the slightly converging verticals?

Thanks for the good memories!
I spent some time in NL in 1996, visited Rotterdam (once on a weekend), love all those places you showed..
Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for all the comments
Hi everybody

Thanks for all the nice comments. The bridge's mast was particularly nice to photograph.

Michiel: Sorry I was just a very short time in Rotterdam, maybe next time

Francois and WW Webster: That is a good idea. I should have photoshopped or simply cropped away the light. Somehow I didn't notice it

I travel to several places in the Netherlands and it amazed me how different is Rotterdam from just about every other city and town over there. I guess is due to the bombing during the war
