Fine creative art definition: Especially visual art whose products are to be appreciated primarily or solely for their imaginative, aesthetic, or intellectual content:

Fellow posters no doubt will dubiously shake their heads.We knew it.This poster has finally lost it.

First check out the NEW Amsterdam cycling park on the internet.Boy is it beautiful.So it should be this practical work of art cost a cool $65 million.It houses 11,000 bicycles UNDERWATER.Yep they drained the swamp as a former USA President might say.They then put in concrete overhead roofing and flooded the top.

It is free to use for 24 hours.Then its a dollar a day.You can swipe a card or have a free tag fitted to your bike.State of of the art escalators ferry you and your bike up and down.Just like in Thunderbird's.

Dutch Old Masters eat your heart out.Hopefully more people will visit Rembrandt more.

How do you think the bicycle park looks? Do you agree like the Charles De Gaulle Airport it is indeed a work of art.Do we need more buildings that combine beauty and function?

11000 bikes underwater? I thought the Dutch already had that.

If you look down into the depths of a Dutch canal on a sunny day, you will see the sun glinting off the spokes of hundreds of bicycles that have been dumped. They periodically send barges round with grabs on, to recover the bikes and take them to the scrapyard.
