Firebrigade

Tuindorp

The Firebrigade building; it's a partly rebuild of a part of the former Stork buildings.

Pork Stompen, uhhh Stork Pompen

STORK

One of the Oldest Stork buildings.

Tuindorp

One of the characteristic streets in the Stork-village. This garden suburb was build special for the workers of the Stork-factory.

Another new development

Geerdinksweg

At the Geerdinksweg crossing a new shopping center/appartment building is constructed.

Oelerweg

One block of old houses is completely replaced by appartment buildings.

Rising gasprices

Oelerweg

One last stop at the traffic lights next to the gasstation.

Twente Kanaal

After a short climb we are above the Twente Canal. And yes, the factory is still there. Well, there are still times I have to work.

The way back during Winter

Oelerbrug

The thing with arriving at the office is, you have to go back later on the day. And in the mean time the weather can have such a wonderful surprise for you.

Hi PJ thanks for pointing out the wrong railway station pic - bit of mis-filing on my part.
