The Hague

The Hague, also known as Den Haag, is a beautiful city located in the western part of the Netherlands. It is the third-largest city in the country and is known for its rich history, stunning architecture, and vibrant culture. The Hague is also a popular destination for photographers, as it offers a plethora of picturesque locations to capture stunning shots. From the iconic Peace Palace and the Binnenhof to the beautiful beaches and parks, The Hague has something for every photography enthusiast.

Blue Evening in The Hague
Hofvijver, Den Haag
by Adelheid Smitt

The beautiful medieval Dutch government buildings and the adjoining pond, lit up on a pretty summer evening. The little round tower on the left is our Prine Minister's office. Next year the long overdue renovations start on the whole complex, so we will probably be looking at scaffolding for several years.
