Description


Same building as seen yesterday.. now from further away.. with the situation as it was in 1750 from the same spot as I was standing today. None (!) of the buildings of the image above (1750) still excists... None of the trees, none of the bridges, nothing.. except the canal (created in 1612).. Now surrounded by other trees, buildings.. Where the building that was shown yesterday is visual a Orphanage house is visual in the old image, it was not standing at the same location as the building seen yesterday. It stood a bit more towards us (until 1869) on the location where now the "sandbeach" is. The crane on the left on the old image was for getting large beer barrels from the ships. This is the Beer-harbor. There are still many cafe's here.. that did not change .. ha ha But other than that... Lot's of changes Nothing stays the same Do notice how modern high rise has classical tops, like the buildings of the past. Still the atmosphere still feels the same.. a bit. With a happy couple on the bridge in the distance. 8 februari 2011. It feels like spring has already arrived.

And yet, some say the more things change - the more they stay the same... :)

This was a great idea Chris as it is always fascinating to compare photos of an area over time. Hopefully the orphange you mentioned is located in another area of the city and even bigger and better than it was before. It's funny you should post this as only last night a friend was sharing old photos with me of the changes made to an area in my small city.

The oprhans got a new large house in 1867. That building was in use till 1943. Than the Germans took over and made it a Police station. That building (along another canal) is now transformed to Luxerious appartments.... Nothing stays the same :D

It is a beautiful city you live in, friend. The old and the new seem to merge without looking conflicting. Yes, things change as long as they are living. And even cities have a sort of life.

Great view from this point. I dont really like HDR pics. It could be worth a trial here.

c'mon, how do you know that is a happy couple? Hmmm? Maybe they aren't happy at all and want to do something bad like drop water on you right after your first tour = lol
