Netherlands. South.

Back in Rotterdam. Berlin was great but now it is time for serious things such as finishing my studies and taking photos of the city.

EUROPA

Nordwest

I landed last week. A winter characterised by mild humid temperatures and grey skies. The Netherlands. Western Europe. A functional country, mainly consisting of infrastructure. Dug out of the ocean by its inhabitants, space in this place is the result of hard labour. Thus it must not be wasted.
