FLAT BOBBY IN ROTTERDAM

FLAT BOBBY IN ROTTERDAM, originally uploaded by ESOX LUCIUS.

Today I took Flat Bobby to meet my Dutch Flickr friend Wessel de Jonge: JoJo4Art.. He lives in the city of Rotterdam. and took this picture of Flat Bobby with the famous Westermeijer building in the background (left). That building is a monument. Rotterdam has few monuments because in World War II (1940-1945) the city was bombarded and almost leveled to the ground. Rotterdam is all about boats and ships and sea. Allthough the boat Flat Bobby is standing next to could to with a paintjob (...).For many years Rotterdam was the largest sea harbour in the world, but recently Sjanghai took that place. Today Rotterdam is the largest sea harbour of Europe and sports many, many architectural wonders. Like the cubical houses you can see in the back of where Flat Bobby is standing. People really live in those cubicals! Thanks Wessel for showing Bobby something of Rotterdam. Not the capital of the Netherlands, but that is because the people in Amsterdam got it all wrong :-)
