The auditorium of the Eindhoven University of Technology, the Netherlands. Brutalism isn't my favourite style of architecture, but I always find the juxtaposition of angular, raw concrete with chaotic wild nature fascinating. #architecture #photography #wederopbouw #wederopbouwwoensdag #brutalism

An interesting glimpse of a Hollywood blockbuster that never was. I rather love the original books as well as Whelan's designs for the movie. That test footage looks great. I would've loved to see more of that puppet in action (even if the voice work is ...well let's not forget it was only a test)

The old water tower of Zutphen, the Netherlands. Built in 1926-27 by the architect Hendrik Sangster. In 1984, a number of appartments were built into the base of the tower. #big #blueskyartshow #architecture #photography
Welkom bij onze cursus "Hoe voel ik me ontzettend oud in 10 seconden". Wij (twee beginnende ouwe zakken op een terrasje): "Mogen we afrekenen?" Ober (Sympathieke Zoomer": "Jazeker" Wij (op exact hetzelfde moment): "DE HYPOTHEKER!" Ober: "Eh, pardon... Wat? O_o; "

The main organ in the St Bavo church in Haarlem dates from 1735-38. At the time of its completion it was the largest organ in the world. #blueskyartshow #big #photography
Ondertussen in Eindhoven... Staal of standbeeld, weet je wel? Dat maakt niet uit. Iedereen petje af! #photography #travel
This #CDFriday Bucky's 90's nostalgia revisits that one Crowded House album after the one you all remember. Subdued, detailed, and intimate, It was somewhat buried under the sonic onslaught of early 90's alternative rock.

Some more images from the Fellenoord office blocks in the Dutch town of Eindhoven. Like the neighbourhood that preceded it, this complex will soon disappear, demolished to make way for luxury apartments. #architecture #photography #brutalism #travel #wederopbouw #wederopbouwwoensdag

Originally a busy, densely populated neighbourhood, most of Fellenoord was demolished after WWII in order to make room for roads and offices. #architecture #photography #brutalism #wederopbouw #wederopbouwwoensdag #travel
Happy #wallwednesday! After coming across the #photography of @joostmarkerink.eurosky.social some time ago, scenes like this are known in my braincanon as "Markerinkies".

The famous (well, locally at least) Flying Pins sculpture in Eindhoven, the Netherlands. Photographed while it's still here. It will be demolished to make way for a temporary bus station. #urbangaze #photography #travel

Just asking my Bluesky cirle here. Does anyone know of a good alternative on Linux for tools like Glaze or Nightshade?
The former Schunk department store, a.k.a. the Glass Palace, in Heerlen, the Netherlands. Constructed in 1933, it's once of the countries most important examples of Modernist architecture. #glass #bluseskyartshow #artchitecture #photography

Bucky's 90's Nostalgia goes France for #CDFriday. Niagara was frequently described as France's version of Eurythmics. Although by the early 90's they beefed up their sound considerably and were more comparable to a heavier version of Roxette. Regardless, fun stuff. ^_^
