Roof Parc

 One from the archives of 2018 when we visited the "Roof Days" in Rotterdam.  From the roof of a building we had a view at  a "Roof Parc".

Watch this, isn't it amazing to use the roof as a parc and a playground.

Signs

In 2018 we visited the "Open Roofs Days" in Rotterdam. You can climb in several buildings to the roof and have a view over the city. Here we had a view at a highschool with a quote on top : 

 "Where I feel good I am at home" by Erasmus. 

Desiderius Erasmus ( 1466-1536) was a Dutch priest, philosopher, humanist, theologian and writer.

Walking on rooftops (3)

The last building we climed was this industrial HAKA building.

This time it was really climbing many, many steps.

And the steps got even worse...

But we reached the roof.

And had a view at the Roofpark, a park with fountains on top of a building. They seem to do many things with roofs in Rotterdam.

A view at the largest port of Europe. Rotterdam is the gateway to an European market of more than 350 million consumers.

Then it was going down again....

The next high building was built in 1931 for  the Municipal Energy Company (GEB). During WW2, the German Army built on the roof a lookout which made the building 7 meters higher.

The lookout was with dirty glass which made it more misty for a photo.

You can see the "Euromast" tower built in 1960 for a flower exhibition (Floriade).

Here a picture hubby made of me on the building I posted yesterday. I didn't dare to step on those metal rails as many did to make better photos. I thought this was high enough for me....

Walking on rooftops

In Rotterdam people could enjoy a weekend visiting rooftops of high buildings. This "Hoge Wiek" building was the first we went up. It used to be an apartment building for nurses next to the  "Harbour Hospital". Now it is inhabited by students..

From below we could spot the visitors on the roof already. Lucky there was an elevator to the 16th floor an then a few steps.

We had a great view over the Maas river. Unfortunately the weather was a bit misty.

But you got a good impression of "Manhattan at the Meuse"

The "Willemsbridge". Linking to "Our World Tuesday"

Airpark

In Rotterdam a former trainstation has been transformed into a park.

There are all kind of plants to walk along.

The park is above streetlevel and is named the "Luchtpark" (Airpark)

To make it more real there are put some fake sheep in the green.

There are some achitectural objects to sleep in the evening.( not for real I think)

Another object to sleep in.

It was fun to see.
