How I was hypnotized by colors in Amsterdam

When the plane was landing in Amsterdam I realized how colorful my extended weekend would be. Looking through the airplane window’s I saw the most beautiful fields that I had ever seen in my entire life. The tulip fields in May are just outstanding. From the sky, I could imagine the smell and the impact of them in our small trip.

My imagination was right and once I got off the airport, I could see everywhere signs and advertisements that reminded me that I was in the country of the tulips. The experience has been just in the beginning, it was in the Keukenhof Garden that my eyes and my brain got hypnotized by those perfect flowers. Full of vibrant colors, the tulips in the garden are carefully arranged to make us feel the power of nature. Red, blue, yellow, purple, white, mixed, a wide range of different and unique colors that it is quite a challenge to describe with words. All of them together, seems like a ballet. I would say that they are the flowers ballet from the Netherlands.

Even in the busiest season, with the garden and all the city packed with visitors the smell of the tulips and the green showed us how peaceful the earth can be. It is impossible not to contemplate and be impressed by mother's nature perfect creation.

Note that the Keukenhof Garden opens every year just between March and May, which are the tulip season months. We went in May and it was perfect because all of them had already bloomed.

Me and Alex not too much synchronized.

The red ones are so intense.
The garden is impeccable
