This small castle is Huygens Hofwijck in Voorburg. It was the country house of poet Constantijn Huygens and later of his son the scientist Christiaan Huygens. If the weather is good, you have a nice reflection of the little castle in the water of the Vliet here. But because Voorburg is close to the coast, it is not often that it is windless here. And when it is a nice windless day, boats sail by all the time, creating a long-lasting ripple in the water. I took this photo on a summer evening in September. In the evening, the risk of passing boats is lower, but just at the moment suprême, a boat did pass by in the semi-darkness. After waiting for about 15 minutes, the ripples had finally subsided and I was able to take the photo. By cropping the photo square, the trees on the side provide a nice frame.
