Day 28: Rotterdam architecture

In 1940 the Dutch were given an ultimatum by the Germans: Surrender or Rotterdam and other cities would be destroyed. The Dutch surrendered, and Rotterdam was bombed flat anyways. As a result Rottrdam has been mostly built since the end of the war. This has resulted in many beautiful modern buildings. You can see many of them down near the harbour. Here are some pictures of a few:

I never really liked Rotterdam, because of these modern buildings. It gives the city, I don't know, a grim look or something. Maybe it helps that whenever I was in Rotterdam, the sun wasn't shining ;)
