Pasar Malam Besar in The Hague

These are pictures I made in 1999 of a dance group from Rantepao in Sulawesi Selatan.
Regretfully I forgot the name of the troupe, but I enjoyed their dancing. In the second picture the girl is dancing on a drum.

Sunset at the beach in Scheveningen, which is the main beach aera of The Hague.

This is the Anton Phillipszaal, the principle music theatre in The Hague.

This is the "Nieuwe Kerk" (New Church) On the Spui in The Hague. These days this church is not used for religious services, but has a cultural use. It is also opposite the Anton Phillips-zaal and the Lucent Dance Theatre, It is also next to the Filmhuis that is why the Spui is also called the Cultural Centre of The Hague.

A picture I found in one of my mothers photobooks. It has my grandfather, my youngest aunt and youngest uncle in it. It was taken in front of their house on the Lembangweg in Bandung.

The Hague juli 2nd, 2009

As I strolled past the Lange Vijverberg near the Houses of Parliament saw this statue of Johan van Barneveld , who as you can see lived from 1547 untill 1619.
He was born in Amersfoort on September 14, 1547 and died in The Hague on May 13, 1619.
During his lif he was a important Dutch statesman, who played a role in the Dutch truggle for independance from Spain. he became Lands Advocate got himself in trouble with the Dutch Staes General and was beheaded on the Binnenhof. the link to the wikipediasite is: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johan_van_Oldenbarnevelt
I was struck again by the light playing in the rays of the fountain in the Hofvijver and the houses of parliament behind it:
