Trains, planes, and automobiles! Ok, you need good eyes, but on the left you see a yellow train, near the middle just above the fence another one, on the bridge is a huge traffic jam wit cars and just above the resonance coil of the antenna you see a plane on long final approach to Amsterdam Schiphol 27.
It is regular operation to have the planes head for WP at 2000 ft. Overhead WP they intercept the localiser for 27, and about 2.5 nm further down the ILS they meet the glideslope.
