A few of the forest photos below contain some of the Hoge Veluwe’s wildlife as seen in the distance from a viewing blind during a quiet morning I spent watching young animals running in circles with much energy.
Oops, have to catch up a few series b/c I skipped them for a full rotation. I do love the Dutch countryside, whether seen from the air or a bike. Especially on a relatively clear and sunny day.
The remarkable work of art shown in this post is called “Jarden d’Email,” or “Enamel Garden” in English. It’s a 1974 creation by Jean Dubuffet, who clearly created it entirely as a site-specific work. Calling it a sculpture feels weak, because it feels like so much more. Even with all my wonderful experiences dating back the 1980s at Storm King, this particular, truly wonderful creation really took my imagination to new places. I visited it each of the three days on which I entered the museum & park.
