Every year close to 1.5 million tourists visit the famous Dutch flower garden 'de Keukenhof'. This garden is beautiful, but the real beauty can be seen in the endless tulip fields in the countryside. As a local, I love to shoot these beautiful flowers every year. I can always find new angles and new conditions to shoot. It’s very addicting. Here’s a series of stunning pictures and a short film that I took during this year’s season of blooming flowers.
Fun fact: the flower fields are not at the exact location every year. Why? You can’t grow the same flower 2 years in a row so the fields always slightly change. This year we had some beautiful fields perfectly lined up with windmills, making it possible to finally get some really amazing photos.
The short film was shot in the season of 2019 in areas of North Holland and Flevoland. These beautiful views were all shot during this year’s tulip season, in collaboration with the local farmers.

As beautiful as these fields are and as nice as the photographer captured them, please do keep in mind that these fields are full of pesticides and herbicides. They're clinically dead: no other plants, nor insects and all the poisons end up in the water surrounding these fields. Toxic exposure to people and animals in the areas around such crops are higher than in other parts of the country.
