On my way to Erasmus Bridge I passed Boompjes Beach, alongside river Maas. Beach will be gone after summer

Possiblity to have cooling shwer, no swimming though !!

Erasmus bridge was closed for all traffic. Parade is passing over it

Weather was hot

Erasmus bridge in its full glory, now serving as a decorum for the Parade, In front terrace of xafe restaurant 'Prachtig', recently opened, having one of the most scenic terraces in Rotterdam

Brown brick building in the distance is where I live

Police prohibited to turn on the volume knob to the maximum, while on the bridge, afraid as they were that this might bring the bridge as a whole in an unwanted vibration. Erasmus bridge is known for its difficulties concerning vibrations. Shortly after the opening it had to be closed, due to cables swinging too much.

What was left after the parade had passed

A rolling bar
