It’s bold! it’s bright! it’s Electric!

We are  leaving Katwijk and have a small drive along  the beach.

Most of the spots we stopped at involved more walking to get to the sand than my Mother in Law wanted, so we don’t end up stopping anywhere.

Still, this little number caught our attention and we stopped so that I could add some photos to my collection of decorated Electricity Substations.

To see the rest of the collection please see here:

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.
