    Rhododendron Dream

    In a national park about an hour from Amsterdam, there's a museum with the second largest Van Gogh collection in the world, surrounded by forest and a beautiful sculpture garden.

    I was there with guests in spring when the rhododendrons were in full bloom. The garden became a maze of paths between deep pink and purple blossoms, buzzing with insects. It felt like stepping into another world, almost a fantasy landscape where nature, art and silence come together.
