Vervlogen tijden (Time has flown)
This pigeon has seen his fair share of suspects. This massive mural of a city pigeon, ready to take flight with a farmer and his milk cart in tow, is located on a corner building right next to the police department.
The farmer is Roelf Bierling, the final inhabitant of the last farm inside the city limits: the farm was located at Rademartk 27, which is now the location of a parking garage. If you look closely, you’ll notice pixels have been incorporated into the art work. The artistsbehind the mural, Klaas Lageweg, describes this technique as real pixelism, giving authentic street art a modern twist.
