Todays images are of the Japanese Garden in the Clingendael Estate The Hague.
The Japanese Garden is located in the Clingendael country estate a tranquil park and garden just ten minutes from the centre of The Hague.
The Japanese Garden was created by the former owner of the Clingendael country estate Marguerite M. Baronesse van Brienen, also known as Lady Daisy at the start of the twentieth century.
