As a real Dutchman, I am a big fan of our flowers. And as a landscape photographer, I enjoy our beautiful spring each year in which I always find time to photograph the flowers and show the beauty of the Dutch flowers to the whole world. Most of you probably know the world-famous Keukenhof, the most beautiful tulip garden in the world. Every year millions of tourists visit this garden.
This year is ‘special’. Keukenhof is closed, for the first time in 71 years. But that doesn’t mean there are no flowers. On the contrary; the flowers look incredible and get as much attention and care as always. All the passionate gardeners do their work as they’re used to.
It was just a magical experience. Having no people in the park allowed me to photograph paths and angles in a certain way that you normally don’t get to see because of the crowds.
This photo series is an initiative from myself in collaboration with Keukenhof. We aim to show the beauty of the park through these images. Too bad there’s no smell involved.
With no people around, these zig-zag paths become visible showing the attention to detail in the layout of the garden.
The famous Keukenhof windmill. The miller was so kind to move it to the correct position for pictures.
A rare species of tulips that I had not seen before.
Father, your beauty and creativity is often indescribable and magnificent. Thank you for those who try to capture it to share with the rest of us. In the Name of Jesus, Amen.
