Beast

 Here we carry on, with a stream of tulips between bushes.


Move a few feet, and the perspective changes.


From beauty to one ugly beast. The path led on, and I decided to document this hideous infill housing that clashes horribly with the neighbourhood.


I feel sorry for the neighbour across the street- this house is a lovely one.


One more view. I suppose this thing might fit in somewhere else- but here it sticks out like a sore thumb. And it seems perennially for sale.


The tulips are far more pleasant.

  2. Such situations and examples will be found everywhere, I think. It is certainly the case here in Fryslân too.

  7. As for infill housing, it is the way of the future. It’s time to replace the expression “breed like rabbits” with “breed like humans.”

  13. There always seems to be somebody who can build an ugly house in the neighborhood.

  14. I like that house - just not in that place... not even the tulips can safe the view.

  15. Isn't it strange how a house was designed for the inhabitants to look out on the view, without a care for its site in the neighborhood? We have a modern place built across from our post office here that does the same thing. Fortunately it's a mixed neighborhood, rather than nice housing next to a park like your monster. It sure is a nicely designed house, just plopped down from Mars.

  22. I don't know if I could live in a modern house like that, I prefer a more traditional one but it looks like they get an awesome view over the flowers.
