April 25, 2025,Radio Kootwijk.

Today I had a nice day off from work.

And went for a walk where I had wanted to see for a long time,
Radio Kootwijk.

What a beautiful location, out of nowhere a gigantic building suddenly appears above the trees in the middle of the heath.

I thought it was really cool to have seen it in real life.
