Some photos of my new enviroins | CLOCKWISE from left: Sculpture on a bridge going to Churchill-Laan | The skinny bridge | Leidsplien | Homomonument | NEMO
Homomonument, is a trio of pink granite trianges placed in a "plain" [plaza] just down the street from the Anne Frank house. There was at this spot, when we arrived late afternoon, a long line queuing around a full block of people waiting to get into the house.
Odd how so people make pilgrimage to spend a few moments in the rooms of others who years ago were confined in a tiny space while hiding from persecution and death. Odd, but strangly uplifting.
