Just look

The prewar-cars on this photo may be difficult to spot. Just click on the image for a better look. The cars you see are part of a long mosaic that can be found on the entrance of a tunnel for cyclists under the river Maas. The tunnel, part of which was also for cars, was built during the late nineteen thirties by the Dutch city of Rotterdam. Many cars (cinq-marquis.nl), heaps of cyclists (engelfriet.net) and lots of pedestrians made good use of it to go to and from work in stead of using the small and crowded bridges. Nowadays the very long escalators (rotterdammers.nl; in Dutch) aren’t used much. (RB)
