First of all, apologies for being late with this week’s challenge; I’m having a week of non-stop travelling and meetings, and unreliable wi-fi.
So it’s a quick post this week, from the coast at Den Haag, in the Netherlands. The beautiful blue sky belies a chilly day with strong winds and hail storms. I didn’t stay long because both my camera and I were suffering from sand-blasting.
Scheveningen Lighthouse
The wide and empty sandy beach looked beautiful though and the wind brought out kites and surf boards galore. I would show you, but I can’t upload photos at the moment!
The lighthouse itself is a national monument (rijksmonument) dating back to 1875. It was designed by Quirinus Harder, a Dutch architect. It is made of cast iron, with 432 plates and 4,600 bolts, and stands 49m tall.

It was obviously well designed to get that reaction from you. In fact, it dates back to 1875 – I’ve just got back to UK and have added a brief history to the post.
