Chimney design by stubborn architect

Chimney near North Sea, Wassenaar

There is something really special about this chimney. Apparently the fire place just HAD to be on the outside wall. And thus required extensive provisions to ensure that the thing would not fall over; Especially close to the sea where it can blow hard.

An insulting goodie bag

Ranting about an insulting goodie bag? Actually it is about that horrible combination of incompetence and arrogance. Sometimes I get this impression that in no country but mine it is such a widespread phenomenon. And it is not limited to ‘politicians’ and ‘journalists’.
