Just a rooftop in Rotterdam
< on 1/6/2009 11:34 AM >

Funny how you can enjoy the city you have been born and raised, once you start looking at possibilities to find new angles... Lately I have been trying to find rooftop access, and I am really enjoying new ways of looking out over a city I thought I knew so well.

Being bombed by the Germans in WWII, we have a serious lack of old architecture in the city centre. It seems that only the buildings from a specific era have rooftop access, if the buildings are too young, it's all locked up...

Anyway, some pictures from an old office building, right next to a cinema I have visited like a hundred times. Very funny to be looking down for a change.





and the obligatory staircase shot

The second picture is so awesome. I'd love to walk around on that stuff.

@ IIVQ: Google Maps doesn't work on this computer, unfortunately, so can't check that. It is on Westblaak.

I think as a level 2 member you can't put things in the LDB (or can you?) so then it's here. However, I prefer putting things in the LDB...

So I should be aiming at becoming a 'level 1' member... I have been doing some reading-up about the mores here, and I can enjoy it. Seems like a good system to deal with the internet follies. Personally, it feels kinda weird to post stuff here that might very well be already in the mighty UE DB, but still, I appreciate the method of conduct. I have several websites, all dedicated to sharing stuff of various interests to anyone who wants to view it, very nice to be having to prove oneself once again to a internet sub-community, having to share in a way that I actually already did on different subjects. If I was in a bad mood, I would say, look at the irony, but I have been enjoying many a strong ale brought home from a Christmas in the UK, and basically I am just liking it.

Let's go exploring!

You're already past level 1 (that's when you sign up and you're not even approved and I think also when you're banned), you're level 2 ("basic member") now. You need to become level 3 ("full member").

If you have a lot of stuff online and ppl here who can vouch for you, you can ask them to propose you to full membership.

Good luck here and post some of your pictures!
