Description

Japanese Garden over 100 years behind the dunes, The Hague. The Netherlands Infect located in an inclination between two very old sand dune barriers, ( = Clingendael) The attributes like the bridges & lantaarns are from Japan and bought by the baroness (she was at that time the owner of the estate Clingendael) in the late 1800, early 1900!! Well over 100 years old now a days!! Despite the fact that the estate (with park) Clingendael is locate in Wassenaar on the border with The Hague, it is owned by The Hague. In the park you find the very delicate Japanese garden which is founded around 1910, 6 weeks a year the Japanese garden is open for the public since the mid 1950-ties and very recently also 2 weeks in the autumn. This Japanese Garden is very unique and a treasure of the Hague and the entrance is free of charge (LOL) Since the opening for the public I have visited the garden very often as we did on the 15th of May again. It is always a pleasure to be around this area where I spent my childhood! Thanks for viewing, and your lovely words on my yesterdays posting, a special thanks for those who earmarked the image as favorite; comments are always welcome. Have a very nice day, Henk

Very nicely composed photo with a great impression of depth. The technique of using DOF to provide an out of focus frame to a shot is a favourite of mine. The garden itself looks beautiful. FyraNyanser (VierTinten :) )
