Quaker Grain Terminal and Silo - Maashaven


I was here with Kaspar after we explored the Hanno-site on 26 September 1998. Although it's about 17:00 it's already quite shady here because of the high silo above our heads.
Strange, old, concrete and metal structures. It's possible to walk over concrete gangways and wooden bridges over the water. Very difficult to catch the atmosphere on film. The whole place stinks. I don't know if that's rotting grain dust or the shit of all the pigeons that gather here. Still it would be a great location for a 1950 gangster movie.

I haven't taken the time yet to explore the ladders and stairs of this place. On Sunday it's very quiet. Only a lone fisherman or jogger comes through here. And just around the corner there are several very busy streets: Maashaven, Brielselaan and Putselaan.
