Erasmusbrug on Christmas Eve

Erasmusbrug on Christmas Eve

Christmas, Rotterdam style. The Christmas tree is displayed on the KPN building: a building covered with LEDs so it basically is a giant screen.

This was my second trip to San Francisco, but before entering the city this time from the north, I took some time to take some pictures of the Golden Gate bridge: a glaring omission from my previous trip.

Seattle Public Library

As a Dutchman, I just had to visit the public library in Seattle, designed by Rem Koolhaas. It looks very strange from the outside, and it a very special experience to walk around inside the building.

Paris: Louvre

Louvre

I spent a weekend in Paris this summer. Because I was only there for two days, I did not have time to enter the Louvre. Luckily I had a chance to see the entrance pyramid to satisfy my Da Vinci Code related curiosity. I guess I have to return some day to see the Mona Lisa.
