Netherlands - Field of Yellow Tulips under Stormy Attack
Different place, different time but similar scene as my previous post. Field of yellow tulips during heavy storm.
The flower fields in the west of Holland are at their best in April
and May. That’s when the spring bulbs, such as tulips and hyacinths
are flowering. The cultivation of flower bulbs for commercial purposes
started in Haarlem and the surrounding area about 400 years ago. The
area between Haarlem and Leiden eventually became known as 'De
bollenstreek' - the bulb district. For many years, a large part of the
population earned their living from bulbs, whether in nurseries,
export, or in industries that supplied the sector. The town of Lisse
regarded itself as the centre of the bulb-growing area, boasted a
postmark that declared: "Lisse, the centre of the bulb
district". The famous flower exhibition "de Keukenhof"
can be found here.
The Netherlands produce approximately nine billion flower bulbs
annually. Evenly distributed, this number would allow for almost two
flower bulbs for every person on the planet. The tulip remains the
most popular and recognizable bulb flower. Most people think of the
tulip when they think of bulb flowers. The tulip is followed in
popularity by the daffodil, the gladiolus, the lily and the crocus.

Hum.. there is an annual award here in Brazil for this kind of picture. It's given by an insurance company... around $8000 for first place... "flowered landscape", "flowered three" and so on. There are 3 categories, I think. This particular picture would certainly be a winner. But I don't know if they accept foreigners. I was just wondering.
Nice picture, for certain!
