A daily dose of Rotterdam since august 2019
Ok, another couple of days have passed before I post a image again… I’m not lazy but sometimes I have to forget what I do want and do the things I can and sometimes must do for someone else. I don’t mind and I hope you won’t either! I took this a few days back during my late shift. I like the vibe, cinema like!

A few days ago (and early in the morning at sunrise) I visited the beach at Hoek van Holland and took many pictures. Is this Rotterdam? Yes! Since 2014 Hoek van Holland is a part of Rotterdam although about 25 kilometers west of the city. Hoek van Holland borders the North Sea on the west side and the Nieuwe Waterweg on the south side. Worth a visit! Moreover, a metro line has been built from the center of Rotterdam all the way to the beach, get out and you’re on the beach!
And did I take a dive? What do you think?

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…

Almost every free space on a lamppost here in Rotterdam is used to put a sticker with all kinds of info, advertising or a (not so nice) message… Do you see the same in your city?

Even in the rain its a sunny ride with this yellow ringer! Enjoy your sunday!
Picture was taken in my neighbourhood Heliport.
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!

A restaurant near the church leads the visitors the right direction…
Laurenskwartier, Rotterdam
Early walk before starting my shift this day and trying to catch the light. I’m happy with this picture with a bit of skyline and the recognisable silhouette of the Grote of Sint Laurenskerk. It is the only remnant of Rotterdam’s medieval city centre. Build in 1449-1525, bombed in may 1940, rebuild in 1952-1968 and still standing. Worth a visit!
You can find the church in the Laurenskwartier.
A new year, a new start. In june 2022 I posted my last picture on this blog. Many things happened, life happened. And now a new picture. Taken a few weeks back, autumn almost gone into winter. This tree is lighten up my day and just around the corner of where I live!
I hope to show you many more pictures in 2023, stay tuned!
