12.17 pm: Bulb fields in bloom. At this time of year hoards of tourists flood the area to see these colourful fields. This is what our countryside looks like - completely flat.
I took this shot out of a car driving at about 80 km/h, hence the blurred motion on the foreground. I could have edited it out but I'm still not feeling too great and can't really be bothered.
Are these tullips already? Or other bulbs? Ik houd hier zo van, bij ons in de polder hebben ze ook van die velden, ik ga zeker kijken over een paar weken!
The motion adds to it - I can't believe the rest isn't blurred - great shot - I'll send my husband with a camera next time he flies over - he always says the fields are amazing from a plane.
This is beautiful. I dont think it needed any editing. The eye is drawn to the bright yellow in the centre, and the converging lines. The flatness of the horizon adds to the beauty.
What a fantastic day to take this pic. And bulbs are not a good memory to me, as I bought it when I went to Amsterdan.. So much care and after 4 months they were all gone lo Nothing happened; We can only plant bananas here lol
I don't think it needed anything done to it. I love what my husband and I call "drive-bys". I think it's an actual style. We can't always pull over, right? :-) This photo is lovely...love the yellows and how you really get a sense of the flatness. :-)
@araminta Living on a mountain or not, I think from any perception our landscape could be classified as extremely flat :)
@babedol23 I hope you will enjoy your stay in the Netherlands! Will be keeping my fingers crossed for sunny weather (our weather is very unpredictable)
@5unflow3r I really like drive-by shots and I agree it's an actual style :)
@jendee3 I love hills and mountains, probably because we don't have them. Our highest hill is a little over 322 meters high (or low).
@lislee75 Thanks, it is very pretty! I am not feeling well yet but I am sure this too will pass.
@deniseescovino Lol, I've never even planted any bulbs in my life! Maybe they were culture-shocked as they didn't expect to be moved all the way to Brazil ;)
@vrouwke Dank je! Ik heb erover getwijfeld om de voorgrond eraf te halen maar achteraf ben ik eigenlijk wel blij dat ik dat niet heb gedaan.
@judithg I've never flown over the country during bulb season, so I can't tell from experience, but I agree they must be absolutely stunning seen from a plane!
@geertje Nee, het zijn geen tulpen maar narcissen (maar pin me er niet op vast, want ik heb ze alleen vanuit de auto gezien)
@flygirl I thought you had left for Europe already! Can't wait to see what kind of shots you come up with and how you will like my country (and Denmark).

@haagjes Ja, er is inderdaad wat raam te zien :)
@wrighty Why don't you? You are about to embark on a journey aren't you, so why not start over here :)
@yoelao Thank you! And yes, I believe this kind of view can only be found in my country :)
@caatjeg @gijsje Het was zo'n mooie stralende dag!
