Cold, around freezing point outside, warm and cozy inside. Let's go outside.

At this point I got bored and turned back. I dropped the idea to go to the compass. Smiley container agrees.

Tired today and the wind feels freezing cold. Still want to have been somewhere. I tried a few sideways, got at a dead end and generally dull area's.

As a last resort I headed for a spot where I have been once in the daytime. The route there was very nice with the floodlights and the containers.

Geulhaven, looking at Vondelingenplaat.
It's an 'edible oils' factory over there as I found out later. Wonder if they can make that from petroleum too.

Anyway I had 'dinner' there from sandwiches and half a bottle of red wine. Things started to look better. Literally, so I took out my camera and shot some of it. That beautiful bright spotlight went out seconds after I took it.

There, I got my reward! Was well worth the cold hardships and the suffering, now I can go back with bountiful fulfillment ;)

Short break at the Botlek bridge. A train passed by, impressive how a bridge flexes and shakes.

Back at the Waalhaven, some shots of the lightshow, standing at the end of a gangway in the middle of the black water.

So yeah, glad that I went out, even if I didn't feel 100%. It was worth it.
