Peace Palace

The Hague is the capital of Holland and it is a government city.  Some of it has the feel of a college town, with government bureaucrats playing the role of academic bureaucrats.  I took some time on a pretty Dutch day to walk to the Peace Palace and see where our work would occur on Monday.  I was not permitted to take interior shots, but as you might imagine from these photos, the interior was a museum piece.




The Hague has a college- town atmosphere.


 The Peace Palace.




The main gate has a pro- cession of ger- anium trees.


Red geraniums and purple moun- tain laurel lent  color to a cool late- spring day.




More mountain laurel.
