Awesome set, this pic especially.

Photography skills aside, the Hague's central skyline in this pic looks sharp. I really dig all of the post 2000 Dutch skyscrapers, there's a style to them I love.

Beautiful! I've visited The Hague twice, because it's such a nice and pleasant city. Friendly people and fancy new highrises... I love it.

Your pics are awesome! Thanks!

Any pics of Chinatown/Wagenstraat?
