This picture was taken in the Government capital of Holland known as Den Haag. Amsterdam is the capital of the netherlands but Den Haag is home tothe Monarchy. Den Haag is 30kms west of Rotterdam and located off of the Atlantic.

DEN HAAG

On the government grounds in Den Haag . I was very impressed with the castle-like formations found in the architechture.

The front view of one of the buildings used for the government offices in Downrown Den Haag.

Two Doors down from Queen Beatris Working Palace you will find her son's(Prince William) private bungalo.

Debbie is standing on one of the long peers which decorates  the beaches of Den Haag. For the middle of October we experienced quite sunny and warm weather which is different than the climate I was use to in Edmonton. If you look closely in the background you will see A red and white lighthouse.

Not quite as impressive as Queen Elizabeth's Palace but to the dutch people, Queen Beatrice  is well adored.  This is her working establishment but her home residence is a huge estate outside of Den haag. The monarchy still to this day, plays an importent part in the political and social issues

At the end of the peer, I could not help but take a picture of part of Den Haag's coast line of  of the Atlantic.

Another view of the coast line and a light house on the other peer.
