Earlier this year Almere opened in the Weerwater a 100 meter long pier, a wooden runway made of parallel strips with up and down waves. At the end is wooden wave of 3 meters high which is also a viewpoint. The pier can be used for docking boats as part of the nearby Safety Museum as for instance police or fire boats, but it can also be seen as a self-contained piece of art.
I must admit it is a bit weird construction, to climb the wave was rather steep and didn't gave a much different view than below. The only ones enyoing the pier were the gulls and they left a lot of faeces there.
Interesting construction and a very long pier. The gulls make a mess wherever they are!
BeantwoordenVerwijderenMaybe the climb is just for people to exercise.
Belas perspectivas.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenUm abraço e continuação de uma boa semana.
The surface must discourage the skateboarders.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenVery long pier and very nice photos. I guess gulls always make it a nice landing strip :)
BeantwoordenVerwijderenThat is a long ways out!
BeantwoordenVerwijderenIf that gate wasn't there one could ride their bicycle real fast and launch themselves off into the water on a hot summer day.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenGulls do leave a mess!
BeantwoordenVerwijderenI like John's comment above that made me laugh.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenYes, gulls seem to be able to take advantage of many things that we make. I'm surprised that no body is on the pier.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenI really like to look of this construction. But I always like something a little different! I even like the seagulls, (swawk! swawk!) but I don't like the mess.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenAls ik jou was zou ik mijn rolschaatsen weer opzoeken. :)
BeantwoordenVerwijderenHmm, maybe it's an idea that needs a little more work. :-)
BeantwoordenVerwijderenThis is a very strange construct .. I don't understand it.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenBy the way, I have not noticed before the translation. (You have put it here, it's new?) I have longed for it and I have thought to ask for it.Thanks.
Old age is doing tricks… heh. Now I remember you have had all the time the translation, I just saw it with a new eye.. :)
VerwijderenIt's unusual and I think it would be a bit disconcerting to walk over the waves as you made your way down the pier. I would feel a bit wobbly!
BeantwoordenVerwijderenSea gulls will do that! It is a very unusual looking pier. I love the way the light is shining on the water in your first picture.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenNice pier. I guess the wave at the end is for people to exit from a high deck on a ship.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenI like the way you've captured the pier for us Marianne, perfect perspective of this unusual 'piece of art'.
