Today we took a bikeride around The Hague and Wassenaar. This is the remembrance clock which is used on may 4th as a tribute to all the resistance heroes who were executed by the occupying forces on the Waalsdorpervlakte in the Second World War.

What a lovely piece of history

@fbailey Thank you Felicity, This clock was much bigger than I imagined it, and the first time I saw it with my own eyes.

Nicely captured - glad it is still used - at first, i thought it was abandoned.

[KWind]

Nicely composed... great focus and textures.

[Diana]

A lovely shot and composition.

[Casablanca]

What a lovely memorial.

[Dione Giorgio]

One huge bell there. Fabulous capture of it as part of the memorial.

[Pigeons Farm]

That definitely looks like a huge bell as Dione said.I love the history behind it. Thanks for sharing.

@linnypinny @kwind @ludwigsdiana @casablanca @sangwann @kgolab Thank you all for your lovely comments, because the powers that be are worried that the clock is damaged I had to stay behind a fence, I would have loved a close-up.

[JoeV]

[Saxa van Eijnsbergen]

hier vroeger meerdere malen gewandeld (mijn opa en oma woonden in Scheveningen). Mooi doorkijkje naar de klok.

[CC Folk]

That is one big bell and nice memorial.

[Jacqueline]

@gardenfolk Thank you! For me this works better than a statue, plaque or stone...........so many voices silenced........and once a year this magnificent bell is tolled.

[Margaret]

Lovely composition.
