Sunset on the beach at the Sol Beach Bar in Scheveningen. It's 10.30 and the light is beautiful. This was the only photo I took during the recent Clyde Netherlands reunion - I was too busy catching up with former colleagues many of whom I hadn't seen for over 20 years. I worked in the oil industry back then and Clyde had North Sea hydrocarbon production offshore from Scheveningen. It is still producing but clearly the mass of windmills on the horizon is proof that greener power generation is taking over.

A view of Gevers Deynootweg from the 5th floor of the Badhotel with HTM tram 3146 (GTL8-II, built at Brugge, 1993) on a number 1 service from Zwartepad to Delft Tanthof via Hollandspoor railway station. This the longest route (approx. 20 km) on the HTM system. The Dutch national flag flies from the impressive dome of the Kurhaus hotel which overlooks the beach & seafront.

Yellow-liveried standard gauge HTM 1100, a 600v DC American PCC tram built under licence in Belgium, is on a number 9 service heading for Vrederust from the Kurhaus in Scheveningen and has just crossed Koninginnegracht. This is the stop for Madurodam which is on the left. We lived in the apartment block behind on Nieuwe Parklaan at the time & I used to catch this tram to the office in the Babylon Centre. I didn't need an alarm clock because the squealing of the wheels of the first tram of the day as it negotiated the bends across the canal immediately woke me up! HFF and have a great weekend.
