Sloterdijk Train Station
   |
| On the west side of Amsterdam is a train station with a kind of funny name, Sloterdijk. Sounds like "slaughter dike". I share it not because of its name but rather because it had a fairly futuristic feeling to it...both the station, and it's surrounds. The architecture of the train station involves a lot of clear glass and curvature which I usually attribute to the future, probably because it reminds me of the Jetsons. Unfortunately I took better pictures of the view FROM the station rather than OF the station. You really have to be inside it and walk around to appreciate it. (totally off topic: Am I watching TV at the wrong time, or are Jetsons reruns not happening anymore? I haven't seen it in ages, but thanks to YouTube, I can watch that catchy intro and theme song anytime: "Meet George Jetson, his boy Elroy".) |
