The Hague
Posted: Sat Mar 26, 2016 8:26 pm
Stayed 3 days in The Hague, Netherlands, for a conference and took the Canon G12 along. The city is of a nice handy size, flat and tidy. Bikes everywhere, the place looks a lot like Germany but it is more relaxed.
City center, somebody famous was going to appear on TV.
The Parliament building
with swans on a lake, I caught this one in the act.
Tricky, tempting, closed door.
Surprising colors in the commercial area.
Museums are the high point of this city. I am a long time fan of Maurice Escher, so I was thrilled to visit a dedicated museum.
The city museum (Gemeente Museum) is dedicated to modern and contemporary art, including a Klimt special.
Another excellent museum - Maurithuis, dedicated to the old Flemish masters, who knew a thing or two about painting with light. Their portraits would put to shame modern optics.
I had little expectations for this trip, and the city really surprised me. It looks like a very livable place if you like overcast skies.
