Most of the trip was in Eindhoven, where our office was sponsoring the DesignEuropa Award in conjunction with the Dutch Design Week being held there, and we held our semi-annual meetings with our stakeholders there as well. So lots of work, but also some time to explore Eindhoven and to visit my friends Anna and Geert, who worked for the company on the outskirts of Eindhoven that I managed from 2005 to 2007. Eindhoven is the fifth-largest city in the Netherlands but is much less known than Amsterdam, Rotterdam, The Hague and Utrecht (the top 4). Partly this is because it is well away from the metropolis formed by the four big cities on the eastern shore of the country, and partly because for a tourist there isn?t much to see in Eindhoven. It is a city that grew because of the Philips company, founded there in 1891, and today it is a very dynamic high-tech region, with an ecosystem of smaller companies that grew around the two big ones (besides Philips, ASML is also based in Eindhoven). It is a liveable and functional city, but it does not have the charm of Amsterdam with its canals or the amazing architecture of Rotterdam. So chances are that most of you have never visited Eindhoven. Here is a small gallery of photos taken during a couple of days, including small urban details, and even some people: http://www.frozenlight.eu/eindhoven_oct2021/ <http://www.frozenlight.eu/eindhoven_oct2021/> All images made with the Panasonic GX80 and mostly the 12-60mm Panasonic lens. A few of the nighttime images with the 1.7/20mm Panasonic. As always, comments and critique are welcome and appreciated.
