Het Bombardement op het Bezuidenhout in Den Haag in 1945 [HD]
Uiterst trieste maar ook boeiende beelden van het bombardement op het Bezuidenhout op 3 maart 1945. Door een navigatiefout bombardeerde de Engelse RAF de wijk Bezuidenhout in Den Haag in plaats van de V2 stellingen in het Haagse Bos enkele kilometers verderop. Lees ook:

Sad but also interesting images of the devastation of the Bezuidenhout in The Hague, The Netherlands on 3rd of March 1945. Due to a navigation mistake, the RAF bombed this part of The Hague in stead of the German V2 installations a few kilometers away in the woods of The Hague.

Walking in The Hague, The Netherlands
The Hague is the seat of government in the Netherlands, and the capital city of the province of South Holland. With a population just over 500,000 inhabitants (as of 1 November 2012) and more than one million inhabitants including the suburbs, it is the third largest city of the Netherlands,
Buitenhof+Hofvijver, The Hague (Den Haag), The Netherlands (Part3/14) City Tour
Buitenhof, The Hague
The Buitenhof (Dutch pronunciation: [ˈbœytənɦɔf], Outer Court) is a square in The Hague, Netherlands, adjacent to the Binnenhof (Inner Court) and the Hofvijver pond. It is listed in the Top 100 Dutch heritage sites.
History
The square originated in the 13th century, during the construction of the Binnenhof. It was filled with houses and stables and, during the reign of Count Albert I, it even features a zoo. The zoo exhibited mostly falcons and other birds of prey that were used for hunting. Later, hounds were exhibited as well. The Buitenhof was moated for safety in the 15th century. People that did not belong to the court, lived outside of it, around the Plaats and the Korte Voorhout, and along the Hofvijver. The only entrance to the square was the Gevangenpoort, Prison Gate. A second entrance was introduced in 1814 with the construction of the Gravenstraat. In 1923, the houses between the gate and the Hofvijver were demolished, as was advised by architect Hendrik Petrus Berlage. This created more space for the increasing traffic, which had had to pass the gate before
Hofvijver
The Hofvijver (Dutch pronunciation: [ˈɦɔfɛivər]; English: Court Pond) is a pond in the centre of The Hague. It is adjoined in the east by the Korte Vijverberg (road), in the south by the Binnenhof and the Mauritshuis, in the west by the Buitenhof and in the north by the Lange Vijverberg (road). In the middle there is a small island with plants and trees which has no name, it is usually referred to as the island in the Vijverberg.
History
The term pond is actually a misnomer, as the Hofvijver has its origin in a natural dunelake fed by the Haagse Beek (Hague Creek) (Originally: Dunecreek) and the, nowadays muted, Bosbeek (Forestcreek) from the Haagse Bos (Hague Forest). The Haagse Beek still feeds the Hofvijver and so the pond is directly connected to the dunes in Kijkduin.
In this dunelake there was an island (not the current island in the Hofvijver) on which William II built his palace in 1248. Other sources say he built his palace alongside the pond and created a moat around it. The city of The Hague celebrated its 700 years of existence in 1948, suggesting that the city itself places its origin on the building of the palace by Willem II in 1248.
Count Albert decided on the rectangular shape in the 14th century. In the 17th century the Hofvijver got quays and in the 19th century it was elongated. Up to around 1800 the Binnenhof was still encircled by a moat and was only accessible by bridges.
The island in the Vijverberg we know nowadays was only created around 300 years ago. How or why it was created is unknown. In the centre of the island stands a flagpole and the island itself counts a number of trees and small plants (no bushes). It is not open to the public. Alongside the island there is a fountain in the water. During demonstrations the island has been 'occupied' a couple of times and there have been banners displayed on the island.
Present
Nowadays the Hofvijver is adjoined in the west by the Buitenhof, but until the 19th century that side was adjoined by houses. The pond is encircled by fairly high quays, but is very shallow on some points. In 2004 an underwater gate was built to make sure that nobody could swim to the prime minister's office without being detected. His office, the Torentje (Little Tower), adjoins the Hofvijver as it is located on the Binnenhof.
On the bank across from the Binnenhof (Lange Vijverberg) there is a statue of Jantje (Little John) pointing to the Binnenhof. 'Jantje' probably refers to John I, Count of Holland who died at the age of 15 years, and features in a well known Dutch children's song about The Hague.
Located next to the Vijverberg are several museums, like the Mauritshuis, the Gevangenpoort (Prison Gate), the Hague Historical Museum and the Gallery Prince William V.

Den Haag Timelapse / Hyperlapse
City portrait of The Hague, The Netherlands, in timelapse and hyperlapse.
The Hague (Den Haag or 's-Gravenhage in Dutch) is the third largest city of the Netherlands. It is the seat of parliament but not the capital, and houses important institutions such as the Peace Palace and the International Criminal Court. But The Hague is first and foremost that beautiful city behind the dunes (to quote The Hague's unofficial anthem), and this video aims to highlight some of that!
View for additional shots of The Hague that didn't make the final cut.
I took some 34000 photos of The Hague for this film, spread over a 2,5 year period during which I worked on and off on this project. This included location scouting and getting to know the city, as I didn't know The Hague that well before I started this project, and waiting for the right weather conditions. Editing the raw material, which takes up 845 GB of disk space, probably took longer than the time I spent capturing it. While I am incredibly happy with the result, there's still a lot of cool stuff that unfortunately didn't make the final cut - maybe it'll show up in some other piece!

Volg de Boswachter - Haagse Bos is een topattractie! - Boswachter Jenny
Minimaal 3 miljoen bezoekers komen jaarlijks in het Haagse Bos recreëren. Sommige doen elke dag een ommetje met de hond of hardlopend. Anderen komen zo nu en dan eens naar een van de speelbossen. Ook zijn er veel forensen die van en naar het werk door het bos rijden; heerlijk toch?! In mijn werk als boswachter zorg ik er met mijn collega's voor dat mensen bij ons terecht kunnen om te recreëren. Als je dan op een drukke dag in het Haagse Bos bent, dan geeft dat veel voldoening. Al die mensen die genieten van dit mooie bos. Daar doe je het voor!

Modern Italian lines in a contemporary setting. Overview. This ample Penthouse delivers on its promise; this is a loft that impresses in a big, big way. Less than 25 minutes from the Amsterdam national airport Schiphol, 30 minutes to the Port of Rotterdam, just 15 minutes from The Hague city center and a stone’s throw from the North Sea beaches.
The loft is situated next to a former tech laboratory. Built in 1955, assigned by the PTT and designed by architect Sam van Embden, this spectacular building was a striking object in its time. And striking it remains up until today and is protected as monument. The hallmark trait of a true modern classic is its ability to endure time and still appeal to current taste, current fashion. This building’s design never gets old. Never dulls. The new penthouse that has been built in this area has all these exact qualities and maybe more. The penthouses were designed by the expert hand of Victoria Lofts: Adding Value. Victoria Lofts is well-known for their excquisite designs and high standards.
The apartment is spacious, airy and downright impressive. Equipped with the latest in home automation, the apartment’s climate, sound system, lighting, blinds, security system and even fireplace is home automation controlled. Walking through the apartment, modernity is leading. Straight angles and lines, emphasized by the use of an impressive light plan of supporting atmosphere-creating LED-lights throughout the entire object, all add to the sci-fi feel.
A first impression
This loft is light, grand, bold. The owner & his Italian wife have spent two years building and designing this apartment. Using only the very best of materials and the highest quality appliances, has resulted in an unequalled luxury and design. What you see is perfection into the finest detail, which is hard to come by nowadays.
This is the place where you unwind after a long trip or intensive day at the office, where you enjoy a steaming hot Turkish bath after a full day of kite surfing on the rough North Sea-waves.
This penthouse is the ultimate spot where you can take life in at its fullest or leave just the day at the doorstep; this place can do it all!
