The restaurant is in a viewing tower built for the original Floriade gardening festival in 1960. It is a circular restaurant at a height of about 100m, it is equivalent to a twenty story building. (The Floriade gardening festivals have been repeated each decade since then. The second one was in 1972 and they have been held every ten years from then. I visited Floriade 2012 in Venlo the week before I took this photograph. However I wasn't aware of the Floriade connection with this tower until after I had been there.) At the time it was build the EuroMast was, at 101m, the tallest building in Rotterdam. It was designed, by the architect Hugh Maaskant, and constructed between 1958 and 1960. In 1970 it was almost doubled in height by the addition of a further 85m tower on top of the original - and hence regained the record for tallest building in Rotterdam. I was in Rotterdam with a large bunch of photographers who had all been attending the annual PanoTools Meeting. We had been up on the roof earlier and come down for the first course of our dinner. Then someone noticed the sunset reflecting on the windows of an apartment block in the city centre. Suddenly our main courses were forgotten as thirty photographers headed back to the roof. This image was created by stitching together two telephoto shots using Hugin. nbsp nbsp Camera: Canon EOS 5d-ii nbsp | nbsp Lens: Canon EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6 L IS USM (at 70mm) nbsp | nbsp Exposure: 1/100 f/4 History of this Image on Redbubble # 4 th November 2017 View Count reached 2,000 # 27 th November 2013 View Count reached 1,000 # 2nd January 2013 Featured for the first time in the group World Wide Sunsets # 28th November 2012 View count reached 500 # 7th October 2012 View Count reached 200 # 30th September 2012 View count reached 100 # 20th September 2012 uploaded to RedBubble # 14th September 2012 photograph shot at Rotterdam in the Netherlands
