Stadhuis van Den Haag

This is the city hall of Den Haag (The Hague), the gouvernmental town of The Netherlands. In this city you can find an interesting mix between old buildings and modern buildings. This is an example of the last category.

The city hall of Den Haag was designed by Richard Meier and is a huge, white building in the heart of the centre. The people of Den Haag gave it its nickname het IJspaleis (The Palace of Ice).
A part of the building is used as Public City Library.

On this picture you can see the big inner yard of the building, that is located in between the two office tower of the city hall. I liked this view because of all the lines and glass. I hope you agree with that! :-)
However it was a quite hard picture to handle, but I think it looks good enough.
In the WS I posted an alternative view.

I like very much both versions.
This is very rough urban shot.
David

Hi Lars! For me it is a nice composition, because I also like the glass, the lines and also the reflections. It creates an attractive graphical work, I liked it!

Erg modern op de manier, zoals je het neer hebt gezet, mooi gemaakt, Lars, een "helder" shot !

Hee Lars,
Coole photo, inderdaad het de uitstraling van een ijspaleis. De reflecties zijn geslaagd en goed dat je een stukje blauwe hemel hebt meegenomen in deze foto.
Goed werk!

Hi Lars, A well composed picture with nice perspective view and nice repetition. I like the partial transparent and partial reflections on the glass windows. A well taken picture with clarity and sharpness. Well done.

Nicely worked with the lines here, and from a very good quality of colors and sharpness.
A beautifull and modern architecture.
I like it

Hey Lars. I agree with you about the lines being nice to look at. I think the blue sky helps set the shot off. I also like the inclusion of the reflections. Nice shot Lars!

Great perspective, captured from a good angle.
This version is better than the WS.
The reflection is very good.
Very nice lighting and sharpness.
Well done Lars.

Dag Lars,
In tegenstelling met enkele schrijvers vind persoon lijk de WS beter, zo kan men zien hoe subjectief een foto is, maar hoe dan ook de moderne architectuur is hier duidelijk op zijn plaats, ook de weerspiegeling is prachtig, mooi werk Lars.
groeten,
John.

Heerlijk Lars, een super archi-graphisme. De PoV, de zeer goede definitie en het licht werken allemaal samen om dit een interessante en spectaculaire foto te maken - wat nog eens versterkt wordt door de transparantie/reflectie combinatie van de gevel. Proficiat!
Groeten uit Rotterdam, Bert.

Bonsoir Lars,
Nous sommes de plain-pied dans le 21ème siècle avec ces deux vues. Je reconnais que le moderne à ses charmes. Il faut vivre avec son temps, vivre avec la lumière qui nous entoure.
Très bonnes prises de vue, Lars.
Les photos étaient difficiles à réaliser, bravo !

Hi Lars,
An excelent graphic. Stunning clarity and very elaborated composition. I like this one more than WS version -- this one is much more dynamic and engaging. Very well done!

Thanks,
Marek

Nicce shot Lars good angle, I like this version better than the WS, the angle is better and I like the reflections also.

The lines are all good, well taken.

Hi Lars - the grid pattern gives a very interesting geometry, and a harmonious combination of blue and gray.

Beautiful white and blue colors, Lars. It impresses very much me when I look at the windows. It is difficult to distinguish if they are reflections or transparences what I see. Good PoV and good note (like always)

A very complex construction and composition, but a beautiful one !
The light is great, and so is the pov.
Good job.
Stéphane

Both views capture the architecture well but I definitely prefer this one you have chosen as the main view. It's a much more dynamic use of the angles and reflections in this facade. It's an interesting view as we look up and through the building with the play of reflections. At points I think one wonders what is reflection and what is reality. It's a nice play between those elements. And it captures a very Meier-esque look. The only thing I might mention is more contrast. But I think that's more of a personal taste as it is fine like this. Nicely done Lars.

Hi Lars,
Eerst maar dit prachtige gebouw van Richard Meier. Dis is een uitstekende foto met een verrassende POV waardoor we zowel binnen als buiten kunnen zien.
groet Rob

Hi Lars,
I like the prdominance of blue throughout the picture as well as the nice geometric lines.
So when do you move to Denmark?
A+
Daniel

very nice perspective, I liek the windows here, very good angle and lighting too, well done

Hi Lars;

A great architectural shot you've taken here. I like the angles, and the strong lines present here.

Well spotted Lars!
- Dan

Lars, j'aime le graphisme et les couleurs de cette photo ainsi que les effets de transparence. Un excellent travail !

Hej Lars,
Very interesting detail of the modern architecture of Richard Meier - I remember a building of him that I have visited some years ago, in Barcelona, that I have loved - The Contemporany Museum.

This game of lines and glass is a good example for showing his typical ortogonal architecture. Nice reflections and well composed image. I also like the ws option. I guess, we can play with unlimited options for this kind of shots...

Hilsner,
Ricardo

I like the transparency of this structure, and the white frame is rather neutral here which does not disturb the effect.

All the best,

Emmanuel

Hello Lars,
Fine lines and excellent textures!
Attractive colours with the different shades of blue contrasting the gray...
I like the point of view and the subject is well framed!
Greetings,
