Wilheminaplein, a photo from Zuid Holland, South

Photographer's Note

The mirroring stainless steel panels combine with the mullions and transoms of the glass-roof and -facade to make a smooth, labyrinthine and expansive space; a modern kind of space, right at home in a city like Rotterdam.

It is the entrance to the Wilheminaplein metro station, that I visited together with Bert and Norbert at the late end of the TE meeting in Rotterdam. Norbert too was inspired by these reflecting steel panels.

I am always attracted by this kind of shors, Torben, and it breaks my haear that I could't join the meeting and meet you all, and...missed this photo opportunity..
More than the beautiful reflections, I appreciate the tekkow bulb which decorates this image in a very nice way and breaks the monotonic pattern with a colorful spot. Beautiful andle, well done.

That unofficial late stroll around with you 3 (Bert, Norbert, you) was really prolific, and I am not surprised. Eventually, you had the city for your eyes.
This is indeed a whimsical contribution, one of those pictures you feel the photographer payed attention to the surroundings, to the details. For this one, though, I think there is a human presence missing. I respect your choice to show a - strictly speaking - piece of geometric archtecture, but the reflection of a woman disappearing among the glass panes would make a great picture a piece of art.
Thanks for being there.
