Black tower

This is the Achmea Tower in Leeuwaarden. I rekon 99.9% of the population hate the thing. I won't be joining the bandwagon though. I have a weakness for modern architecture, even if this is not up there with Bilbaos Guggenheim museum. The building though doesn't have a nickname, and it really does need one even if it were offensive.

Other thoughts about Leeuwaarden (just first impressions). I am amused by how busy the locals think the place is. Compared to North or South Holland it's easy going. I have not though seen the town at night yet which should be interesting.

What a shame that the locals don't like the black tower - it's a gorgeous building. I'm a big fan of the architectural landscape in Leeuwaarden.
