The Confusing Mystery of the Disappearing Reappearing Toilet

So a few posts ago I connected a link to a webcam in Amsterdam

This webcam is in the Koningsplein in Amsterdam (you can access if by clicking on those words)

It's great because you can hear and see real time live streaming from Amsterdam

My father also viewed this and has been enjoying the sites and sounds of people passing by, bike and trams ringing through the streets. Until a couple of days ago...........When I noticed a strange statue type monument feature that I hadn't noticed before.........



This concrete looking structure suddenly appeared just to the right of the man in the white T Shirt, in the above picture. I just guessed that I hadn't been very observant before.

Then.......... a couple of men who were walking together, stopped and stepped onto this 'momument'............it was a urinal!!

I spoke to my father, told him to go on-line, click on the webcam and see for himself. He hadn't noticed it before either. We then spent a highly inappropriate 10 minutes fascinated, watching people hop on and off this magical toilet; very cleverly designed so you couldn't 'see anything you shouldn't'

Mind you; there did seem to be an unwritten etiquette that it was perfectly acceptable to turn around to the passing crowds whilst fastening your trousers...........strange.

Then 2 days later...it was gone!! Where did it come from? Why was it there? Where did it go?

Then it was back!!! Where did it come from again?           Now it's gone..........AGAIN?

Besides being very confusing........why would you place an open public toilet in front of a popular webcam?

....have a look......and if it's there.....I bet you play the 'who's gonna pee next' game....
