De La Rue Main Lounge [180° pano] ☕️

► █░▓ ≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈ Her majesty the Summer is on. De La Rue’s morning quiet before other guests join in. I am diverting there from my original plan to visit the infamous river spot where a young man drowned some years ago. Hesselink coffee caries its own promise. It did not let down. — At a stone’s throw from the busy A27 highway leading to/from Paris, a village family has built a gorgeous mini vacation resort that seems to be getting momentum among the ever aging Lowland's population. Dutch are always keen on exploring their domestic coziness corner. I am keen on interacting with the personnel. I know it can come through as ridiculous but — perhaps because I don’t have grandkids myself— but I am always thrilled by the angelic young faces working in health care, magazines and horeca (Dutch for hotel/restaurant/cafe business).

 

Taken and edited behind a cop of Hesselink coffee. Equivalent focal length is 28 mm. Cameraphone panorama somewhat helped in Snapseed (this phone's pano mode is bad, it disengages the HDR, struggles with the white balance and lowers the already mediocre resolution).
