Paramaribo by night

On our way back home from the InCar office we decided to take a little detour through the city. Many parts of the city are quiet at night. The colonial part of town has mainly offices and little in the way of nightlife. Shining beacon in the otherwise slightly dark city is the Presidential Palace above. Formerly the residence of the Dutch colonial gouvernor it is now the office of President Ronald Venetiaan. It is situated on Independence Square, formerly known as Orange Square (Oranjeplein).
