Land and Water

Yesterday I spent just a few minutes near the old docks, the area of Amsterdam which is being redeveloped and which provides, very fashionable, housing for a lot of people. Some of my colleagues live there. The architecture on Java Island is fascinating, and I like the way the old warehouses are integrated into the new area. The best example of this is the way the Schaeffer bridge lands right underneath an old warehouse, which is still in use these days. It is nice to be near the IJ, to see the water and the way the water and the land fit together.
