In the Eastern part op the Beatrix Park merry crowds
who came for the Uit Markt,
in the Western part quiet nature.

Back from the Tulip Rally.
More about the 2CV.

Young, enthusiastic audience.

Many kids of ex-pat parents playing in the Beatrix Park.

Sunday.
Sunny periods.

Sophie's choice: pancakes, stacks of them.

More than half a century later: the Hinterland, a revolutionary vehicle, a design, a development and production project, using innovative technology to market an affordable yet environmentally friendly car that meets the needs of the people. The design does not rest on obsolescence; it is not subject to replacement for aesthetic reasons but is rather based on clean, innovative lines that will never go out of style. In addition, the design allows for exceptional aerodynamics combining the convenience of a car with an aeronautical fuselage. The entire project is aimed to give a very distinctive and innovative form to a Canadian design for a long-range electric vehicle. The vehicle is designed to be energy efficient and perfect to travel into a green future. Its aesthetic design along with green features and a good electric engine to power it along make it real special and something to watch out for in the future. Unlike many concept cars, it surely does not delve in the possibilities of the unreal and impossible." This vehicle is not a muscle car neither a hi-performance car, It was designed for the future of the environment as a functional product with a techno fantasy flair. It was a laboratory work and research for obsolescence proof design as well: a cylinder is a pure geometrical shape, the main design problem or challenge was to have a smooth and stable transition from the cylindrical architecture to the ground. The integration of the tires and wheels to the fairings was a tough job. Having myself work for the power sport industry designing snowmobiles, ATV, Jet boats etc, it was some kind of a "redemption work towards planet earth" you might say! ;-) but be reassured, I pursued the design of eye catching and aggressive shapes for customers and in-house projects.
