EuroTripping – Rotterdam Street Vibes

As I mentioned in the last post, while we stayed a few nights in Antwerp during our European road trip last summer, we decided to drive up to Rotterdam to spend a day exploring some of the neighborhoods. Today’s post features some “street shots” from our long walk around the city last July.

I happened to notice that I shot many of the scenes fairly wide to include the architecture I was checking out during our visit. I also realized that bicyclists and construction worker-types feature quite a bit in this selection of images from the streets we wandered in Rotterdam.


During a brief downpour, we huddled under a bridge while this guy continued his work along the Nieuwe Maas

Lifting and receiving on a construction site

I dunno, this seems a precarious position for this worker

Folk at the crosswalk with Wilhelminatoren literally towering above them

Riding by Centraal Station

A pair of guides (?) smoking (P.U.) and chatting under the Kubuswoningen

Shoppers in front of the huge window of the Markthal with Blaaktoren (AKA: The Pencil or Het Potlood) in the distance
