Comment
An iron construction, probably at the port of Amsterdam port, is not pictured as such one, but the focal plane is with the building in the background. Therefore, that the whole iron construction in front seems as an abstract pattern. In the upper image half, above the building in the background, the bright sky with its uniform surface outshines the iron construction in front, creating rectangular and rhombic white fields that seem to have their own lives.
