OK, so not all the pics are from Wassenaar. We just can't keep still!
Nonetheless, we hope you enjoy our photos from the area and around The Netherlands.

Blank Stare
One of the lions (leeuwen) that guard the De Paauw, a former royal mansion that now houses some Wassenaar city offices.
This lion reminds me a little bit of the two that guard the entrance to the Art Institute in Chicago. These animals make such noble subjects, don't they?
That looks like a very old lioness. I like it though because they are such regal animals and this statue is one of the few I have seen that does their images any justice. Nice photo of it.
I like the way the lion has been stylized by the sculptor. Check out the way the mane encircles the lion's ear. Makes him look like a prize fighter with a cauliflower ear. Cool kitty.
A group of enthusiastic photographers that meet in The Hague. English-language meetings for the international community. Check out the website, especially the galleries page!
