The theme for Lens-artists Weekly Photo Challenge #118 is ‘Communication’.
Architecture can be used to communicate wealth or power. An example in the history of The Netherlands are the canal houses in Amsterdam. A more modern ‘show off’ of wealth is the ING House on the A10 in Amsterdam. A rather small Head Office on a very expensive piece of land. And building high risings is another example where (not only) Dutch cities build literally their image and show off economic power. This is Delftse Poort, til 2009 the highest building in The Netherlands. The five highest buildings in The Netherlands are all in Rotterdam (this is the ranking).

The theme for Lens-artists Weekly Photo Challenge #117 is ‘A photo Walk’.
Last week I had to kill some time in Rotterdam near the Central Station.
Just behind the roof of Central Station is Delftse Poort. Until 2009 the highest building in The Netherlands. The five highest buildings in The Netherlands are all in Rotterdam.

Delftse Poort in Rotterdam is one of the tallest high risings in The Netherlands. The display of a photo on one of the towers strikes like magic.
