The former level railway crossing at the station. Was often closed for
about half an hour every hour.
Photographic sketch book made by the Dutch photographer Jaap Bijsterbosch. Oogenblikjaap means just a moment Jaap, but also eye and view Jaap. So dear visitor, stay awhile and have a look around!

The Longest
Night 11 years ago
(Often when
I go out into my hometown Diemen, the somewhat sleepy suburb of Big City
Amsterdam, I take my camera with me. I try to capture accidental beauty and sometimes
unplanned alienation of the banal aspects of the everyday scenery. I started to
do this from 2004, the year we came to live here, at first in black and white, from 2006 in color.)

Diemen wordt doorkruist door een aantal spoorlijnen, waarbij er een ouderwetse gelijkvloerse overweg ligt, waar ruim 25 treinen per uur passeren. De enige overweg van die soort in de regio Amsterdam. Regelmatig zijn er dan ook ongelukken, ook omdat het station bij die overweg ligt. Ja ik weet het, men moet niet door het rode licht gaan.
