Thanks for your reaction dear Petra. The place is not open to the public, but somehow I manage to always sneak into the park. On the particular night that I made this picture, however, they closed the gate. I was together with a friend by bike and we could not get out... :)))
Fortunately a car arrived of one of the guests staying at Duin and Kruidberg, so the gate was opened by remote control and we could escape...

Thanks dear John for looking at my pictures amd for wishing me a warm welcome back on FT!!! :)))
I shall look at your holiday pictures via a slide show (to morrow): I am now in the middle of reading a book which fascinates me (Theun de Vries: Het geslacht Wiarda. He must have done a lot of research to write this book starting at some moment in time in the 7th century and (probably) ending in our modern times...)
I do not know if you are familiar with the under mentioned web site containg so many treasures of dutch literature?:
http://www.dbnl.org/

If you have time to spare please visit this site, you will love it!
I advise you to start with the books for the young ones, to freshen up your dutch!! :)))
