An Electricity Substation that lights up your day...

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.
