In this installment in this series, I’m going back to the year 2011. This year I had to travel to the Netherlands several times due to family members passing away. While this happens to all of us at certain times, it’s never pleasant and these trips are etched in my memory. At the same time, there are also great memories from these trips. I spent time with my favorite aunt, as well as some good outings with much of the family.
As I was sauntering by the water with my aunt, I captured this photo…
The port of Rotterdam is a significant part of the city’s industry and pride. It has long been the most important port for getting goods up and down the Rhine river. Getting this shot was a bit tricky due to the low light conditions, so I placed my camera on a mooring post for stabilization. This enabled me to get both a reasonable exposure and depth of field.
Rotterdam will always be my home city, as this is where I grew up. It provides me with lots of great memories, whether school times or museums. More than anything this is a vibrant city, always alive with an energy that connects to its motto: Sterker door Strijd (Stronger through Effort).
