Vos. The Dutch name for the sculpture is Bospoldervos.

You can find it on Google Streetview, the adress is Schiedamseweg 280, Rotterdam.

That’s funny

Oh I thought Aldi was in the next town over from Rotterdam . We’re on the other side of Rotterdam in Guilderland.

 

[foraloysius]

Funny name!

Guilderland sounds funny to me. The guilder was our previous currency (in Dutch "gulden").

Lots of Dutch influence around Albany

The town is named for the Gelderland province in the Netherlands. I believe it's the only Guilderland in the world. Of course, the pronounciation was bastardized by the English
