I’m adding again to my collection of decorated electricity substations that are situated in various parts of the Hague.
The ones I have found so far are in the following links:

This next substation is located behind the petrol station at the junction where the Valkenboslaan , the Loosduinseweg and the Valkenboskade in Den Haag (The Hague), The Netherlands.
I took these photos earlier in the year, in February when winter was still in force.
The box actually faces the water of the Valkenboskade (canal) so I could only therefore photograph three of the four sides.

The images are intense and dramatic… I’m still making up my mind if I actually like this one or not.
What I do like, is that sunshine or rain, this substation simply blazes colour and surely must put a smile on the dourest of faces.
