Peace Palace, a photo from Zuid Holland, South

Photographer's Note

In 1899, 26 countries organized a peace conference in The Hague that marked the beginning of the Permanent Court of Arbitration. After the second Hague Conference in 1907, the seat of the PCA was built, and since World War I it has also been the seat of the International Court of Justice.
The palace was opened in 1913 after six years of construction. It is a large, square-shaped building in the Neo-Renaissance style
The palace is accessible to the public through guided tours.

Hello Ryszard,
It's a very elegant building with a beautiful name. The grey sky was clearly to your favour. It has created very pleasantly mild colours and matches the large lawn well. The walls and roof fit the colour scheme nicely. At a quick glance this looks a bit like a cathedral. Since this palace was built several other international courts have been placed in The Hague, making it the global capital of justice.
Kind regards,
Gert

Hello Ryszard,
A great and classic shot of the Peace Palace and the perfectly green lawn in front of it. The architecture stands out very well with good sharpness and clarity. Very well done.

Hello Ryszard,
I didn't know that the Permanent Court of Arbitration was housed in a palace.
It is a very beautiful one and located in a nice park.
Excellent sharp shot!
Best regards, Paul

Bonjour, cher Ryszard,
Cette pelouse parfaitement tondue donne un effet de perspective parfait pour valoriser le patrimoine architectural de cet édifice prestigieux.
J'adore ces combles aménagés et percés de minuscules lucarnes;
Très bien.
Amitiés.
Philippe

cześć Ryszard, Pałac Pokoju - piękna nazwa. Elegancki budynek. Bardzo ładna symetryczna prezentacja. Ciekawa wieża, czy można na nia wejść? Trawniczki wypielęgnowane. Po trzeciej, środek dnia, gdzie ludzie?

Pozdrawiam MAłgorzata

Hello, Ryszard!

I see you had to get far from the palace to show the whole building, including this tall tower at the left, the framing is very nice! And so is the architecture, the details were captured with very good light and sharpness! Wonderful view!

Very well done, TFS.

Best regard,
John

Hi Ryszard
A well executed architectural image as my eye gets drawn to the looming tower of a grand building. You have captured the essence of this to the best effect, excellent detail, great clarity and colour rendition. A wonderful shot, Congrats.

Ciao Ryszard
il palazzo ha una storia relativamente antica, ma porta con se un'architettura classica e le tante vicende accadute in quegli anni.
Foto diretta, con la facciata bene in vista e la torre che domina.

Czesc Ryszard,
to kolejna znana struktura, a moze nawet najbardziej znana budowla z Hagi.
Pieknie sfotografowana, kadr elegancki i uporzadkowany tak samo jak architektura.
Pogoda jakiej nie lubie ale wynik znakomity: niebo zachowalo bowiem teksture i nie jest przepalone.
Doskonala prezentacja, pozdrawiam serdecznie,
M

Ryszard, that Neo Renaissance style palace that opened in 1913 commands respect. It is an imposant building with a clock tower. The garden surrounding it is perfectly maintained. You placed the palace perfectly in the middle of the frame.
