The Jeruzalemstraat






Cars love motorcycles?







The Jeruzalem Church










A Space Invader made of pieces of paper.
Cheap copy-cat?

The Jaffahof








A little
street that ends in a children’s playground. Nothing much to see in the
street except for these tropical birds on the wall.

The Hattasingel




Also in new neighborhoods you come across something, if only you look closely.








 'Loud, Proud & Loyal', a sticker representing the Feyenoord fans.







The colors of autumn.

De Gekroonde Haringpad






It means the Crowned Herringlane. Funny streetname, don't know what's the story behind it. The lane itself is not that interesting. But at the end of the lane you have a beautiful view at one of the few mills that's left in Delfshaven.

Artistic Gaffelstraat








The
Tussentuin is a temporary garden at the Gaffelstraat. It is landscaped and
planted by residents. They grow their own vegetables. All kinds of activities
are organized in the Tussentuin. For example: theater and music performances, biology
workshops and outdoor diners.

A picture of Laan van Woudestein, coincidentally taken.






I found a list on the internet of the streets of Rotterdam and pasted into a Word document: about 75 pages! But this street was not listed.

A colorful Essenburgsingel








"The Essenburgsingel
was named in 1921 after the old farm Essenburg which lay on the corner of the Beukelsdijk,
near the current Statentunnel."








Bono?







Below some colorful painted doors and electrical cabinets.

De Slagerij (The Butchershop) at the Nieuwe Binnenweg is now really closed.



The people who lived there moved out. So after two
years of hanging around, lots of laughing, drinking, partying, cooking and
performances in this beautiful location, an era comes to an end. Below are some older pictures:

I saw this statement on a wall

The Admiraal de Ruyterweg is located in Crooswijk...






...a pre-war working class neighborhood that has always been marked by a strong social cohesion.







A couple is moving a birdcage.






Seen from the Admiraal de Ruyterweg: a house that is very skewed.
