Truly awesome! You really captured the fact that Rotterdam is a maritime city as well as an architectual gem. Nice!

Lol what a great place to enforce some modern refreshment over the continent... Even the supposedly grumpy Parisians have to praise it. Somewhat influtial nowadays.

Incredible pictures! Rotterdam is really underrated, it is the Chicago of Europe. Been there some years ago.

Great photos. I really like some of that architecture, and I don't usually go for the modern stuff.

I was in Rotterdam last fall, and it is an interesting city with all the modern architecture.

I don't think it has as good a reputation within The Netherlands. I have a friend living in Amsterdam at the moment, and he was saying, whenever he mentions Rotterdam, or reads Dutch planning material on Rotterdam. People always remark to him that that people only live in Rotterdam because the jobs are there, but not because the like the city.

I thought it was a nice city.

Very nice done. Especially the pictures which are done at the riverside are my favorite.
