I was social yesterday. Here's photo proof.
Reconnected with an old friend I haven't seen in almost 10 years.

Now this is how you do a protected bike lane/sidewalk combination. No rubber bumpers or plastic posts for "protection" like we usually see in the US. Here we have nice ground pavers for both bikes and pedestrians, a decorative railing separating the bike lane from cars, and a beautiful landscaped divider between the bike lane and sidewalk featuring trees and bushes contained within a cut-stone base.

Bike lane/pedestrian-prioritized street in downtown Denver. I love the use of the planters to gently delineate the spaces for bikes, pedestrians, and cars.

Since many centuries before Christ, artisans from the main civilizations of the world were dedicated to heating iron mineral masses together with mineral coal, the main objective being the production of weapons and tools, a process that we know today as wrought iron. What they didn’t know back then is that, occasionally and accidentally, this process, under the right conditions, resulted in steel. Much less did they know that steel would be so significant for the development of society, and that many centuries later, it would completely revolutionize technology and the way of life. But for this, it would be essential to master the machining and cutting of steel. And it is not until the Industrial Revolution when the dominance of steel as a material achieves one of the first positions among the materials used for construction and engineering in general.

In the 19th century, during the hight of the Industrial Revolution, the machining of steel began to develop. Fast forward to today and steel cutting operations have become more or less essential aspects of modern architecture and design. One of the main techniques for metal fabrication in modern architecture is sheet metal laser cutting. It is suitable for cutting pieces of metals, alloys, and non-metals. Sheet metal laser cutting is a thermal cutting process involving beams of light (lasers) on the workpiece to melt or vaporize materials until the desired shape is obtained.

Rijnstraat 50 (Rhinestreet), opposite of Central Station The Hague, The Netherlands, 2024

Never underestimate the power of the ordinary, for it is the very foundation upon which the extraordinary is built. It is the stepping stone that carries us upwards, the canvas upon which we can paint our unique stories. The most profound joys in live can often be found in the simplest of moments. Embracing the beauty of the ordinary enables one to pause, breathe and appreciate the intricate details that often go unnoticed. Legacies are not limited to the realms of the extraordinary but are determined by the ordinary. It is in the familiarity and the simplicity of everyday moments where the beauty of ordinariness lies.

Although many like to interpret YOLO — you only live once — as an invitation to be careless and wasteful, I like to take it into the direction of existentialism: knowing that life has no meaning, what do we do with it? Once we accept the absurdity of life — that it has no predetermined meaning whatsoever — we are free to enjoy the little pleasures, joys and observations of daily life and give them our own meaning. Embracing the ordinary is living live to the fullest. Meaning reveals itself in the most insignificant moments, in the beauty of everyday life.

While waiting for tram 17 at one of the platforms of The Hague Central Station my eyes where met with this everyday scene right across the street, a seemingly insignificant play of light created by the evening sun projecting its last rays of the day through an empty government office building.
