Description

Hotel New York on the Wilhelmina Pier in Rotterdam is a hotel located in the former building of the board of the Holland America Line (HAL). Today it is surrounded by a lot of tall buildings which are about 150m in height. Not a really beautiful sight. On the other hand; the old hotel has not been demolished. Innumerous emigrants and adventurers stood here on the quay in front leaving Europe for America. In not so long foregone decades they travelled for instance with the SS Rotterdam; one of the most beautiful large ocean liners of the HAL which can be visited nowadays in it's hometown. http://www.renderosity.com/mod/gallery/index.php?image_id=2136626&user_id=675692&np&np gives an impression.

Beautiful bright colors. It´s sad that this building has almost vanished completely because of those large buildings. BTW: I would have ´demolished´ the buoy in the foreground and cropped the photograph slightly.

Awesome view, Onno. Excellent way to show the "new and old" as well as the geometric shapes in this urban image. I like the shadows here that adding the depth to this fine photograph. You are almost getting me liking the multistory buildings :).Thank you for sharing this beauty!
