More Rooftops...

While World Trade Center Rotterdam’s big green elliptical tower was built in 1986, the low-rise exhibition complex below the tower was finished just before being damaged during the the bombing of Rotterdam on May 14, 1940. Its copper roof has more than 21,000 round windows.  
It was cool to see the Markthal from yet another angle...
...as well as the Erasmus Bridge.
How nice that we found someone to take a photo of the four of us.
In addition to lots of displays about renewable energy, there were various sculptures...
…a rooftop garden...
…and a giant undersea mural.
It was surprising to see a tree sticking out of a car’s sunroof before learning it was a moveable piece of art designed to teach about the necessity of greenery in public spaces. 
After descending the final staircase, we headed over to Aloha for drinks and appetizers on the terrace.
