In this area of Rotterdam buildings cannot grow much higher than 100 meters because the microwave beam of the Dutch PTT (30 meters in diameter) passes this site at 106 meters. The beam connects the Waalhaven/Rotterdam with Alphen a/d Rijn.

Saturday 5 December 1998 - I tried to get into this appartment building because it must have a terrific view of the city. I should have been warned by the doorbell-camera. If you ring, the inhabitants can take a look at you through closed circuit television before they let you in.

I hung around a bit trying to get an opportunity to tail some people and to slip inside. I was viewed with suspicion by some elderly aristocratic ladies and had a nice conversation with a young english lady. She told me the view was perfect on the higher floors, but that you could only get a view from the appartments. There were no windows in the fire-escape stairs or in the elevators.
