Leeuwarden II #3: Entrance Underground Garage

Posted by Illuci (Hurdegaryp, Netherlands) on 6 February 2008 in Architecture and Portfolio.

Like the old sung, so peep the young
Dutch proverb, meaning that our ancestors gave a good example, taken over by the young trying to reach the same level but not totally succeeding.
I found the English translation which I made myself, very well running, even rhyming; I only hope that it's acceptable English because one would expect in normal language "so the young peep".

Dear AM3 friends, thanks very much for your encouraging comments in our global photo gallery where the masters themselves are always there to speak to.

The same tower as yesterday, seen from the other side, together with the entrance of the underground parking garage, which is a blessing for the view on the tower, because 2 years ago all cars were parked on the now empty place. It's really a miracle of water and construction engineering to build an underground parking garage on this wet spot (you saw the nearness of water yesterday) without damaging the leaning tower! I like the harmony between old and new here. Notice the similarity of colors and texture in the tower and the new pavement.
