Nelson Mandela Bridge, Zoetermeer, The Netherlands. Architect: Johan Bak (1992) I used to be here many times because of work, and really hated the place: cold, ugly and unattractive, waiting for a train that was always late. Not having been there for years, in gorgeous weather, I found a different atmosphere.
Blue and yellow are the colours of the city of Zoetermeer. We used to call it Sweet Lake City.

Tweemanspolder, Zevenhuizen, The Netherlands. Four windmills (1722) used to keep the polder dry until replaced by a pump in 1950. They are inhabited, and are still functional.
