Spring = tulips in NL
21 April 2011. It’s one of those typical things that happen to me. Although only at 20 km distance, I had never been to the world famous spring flower park in the world. Only in spring 2009, when two friends asked me to come see the tulips, I visited Keukenhof (Netherlands) for the very first time.
I was stunned by the variety of the tulips and other spring flowers as well as the (blossom)trees in the park. Although I think that the park could do with more contemporary flower bed designs (blends, shapes and colours), I promised myself that I go back every following year to enjoy this flower delight.
This year I visited on Monday 18 April. Via Flickr a slide show is available for all tulip lovers.

March 31, 2009 6:30 PM.
In conjunction with Into the Sunset, which examines how photography has pictured the idea of the American West from 1850 to the present, this panel features photographers, a filmmaker, and a writer in a discussion of how their work elicits and contributes to our collective imagination and narratives of the West. Participants include photographer Katy Grannan, writer Annie Proulx, and photographer, filmmaker, and actor Dennis Hopper. Eva Respini, Assistant Curator, Department of Photography, and organizer of the exhibition moderates a discussion.
