The Hague

Well, I'm on a new trip, this time to the Netherlands, Luxembourg and Iceland. We arrived in the Netherlands Thursday morning, and worked that afternoon and Friday. But Saturday I spent the day wandering around the city center in The Hague, and going to a museum. I made it back to the hotel before the rain started, too!
The Parliament building along the canal, with some of the newer -- and very modern -- architecture in the background.








Here's one of the entrances into Parliament square. It's nice -- there's no metal detectors to go through!











The Dutch seem to be big on juxtaposing new and very modern architecture next to buildings that are 300 or 400, or sometimes more, years old.



















Some of the new buildings that over look one of many traditional squares filled with cafes.




















An interesting rooftop sculpture.
