Travel: The Hague, 2022

A work trip to the Netherlands. A few days at the KLM hangars and time with a local aviation startup. Plus a few leisure days across The Hague, Haarlem, and Delft.

Classic style
A couple smiling on a bridge over a canal, a brick church tower with a clock rising behind bare trees
A row of canal-side buildings with a classical stone facade topped by a sculpture, a church spire behind, under a streaked blue sky
Market stalls in a cobbled square beneath a Dutch flag, a large Gothic church behind
Moving through
A dark bronze sculpture of three gaunt standing figures against a whitewashed wall
Mari Andriessen
A sectioned nautilus shell showing its pearly spiral of chambers, beside an audio guide number card
Evolutionary engineering
Myself in a wood-panelled room leaning over a framed print on a tilted display stand
I like this one
Looking up at a dark wooden windmill, its white sails crossing the frame against a pale sky
They come in blue
A man in a navy puffer jacket glancing sideways on a brick street at dusk, a lit lantern and planters along the houses
I have an idea
