[Notas - Normas] Nota do Artista
The history of Lisse is closely related and similar to the neighboring towns of Hillegom and Sassenheim. Based on a document from 1198 which makes official mention of the town's name, Lisse celebrated its 800-year anniversary in 1998, although there is an indication that there was a settlement here already in the 10th century.

In the Middle Ages, Lisse was a small settlement; there were only 50 houses in 1500. Because of prolonged warfare (particularly the wars of Charles the Bold and the Eighty Years' War), poverty was prevalent. Its population lived from agriculture, animal husbandry, and peat harvesting.

In the 17th and 18th century, Lisse was, just like Hillegom, home to many estates of rich merchants and nobility. The forests and gardens of the estates Keukenhof, Meerenburg, Wildlust, Zandvliet, Overduin en Akervoorde, Wassergeest, Grotenhof, Ter Specke, Dubbelhoven, Rosendaal, Veenenburg en Berkhout, Middelburg, Ter Beek, and Uytermeer all added to the town's beauty and glory.

Yet in the following centuries, every one of these estates (except Keukenhof) was removed to make way for the cultivation of bulb flowers. The sandy soil in Lisse's surroundings were highly suitable for its growth provided the soil was fertilized. The nearby dunes were excavated and forests cut down progressively over time for more fields for the flower business. This brought employment and prosperity to this area.


In the 20th century, the bulb flower business continued to boom, resulting in the establishment of auction and trading houses, large-scale cultivators and cooperatives. Today, Lisse exports bulbflowers in large quantities to over a hundred countries world-wide.

Located at the centre of the "Dune and Bulb Region" (Duin- en Bollenstreek), Holland's flower-growing region, Lisse is also a major tourist attraction. During the spring when the fields around Lisse are in a colourful bloom, hundreds of thousands of local and foreign tourists visit the area. The only remaining estate that was not removed for flower cultivation (Keukenhof) became ironically world-famous for its flower displays.


The most popular attractions in Lisse is Keukenhof, open only during spring when the tulips are flowering. Also each spring a flower parade called the Bollenstreek Bloemencorso is held through the main streets of Lisse.

Other places of interest are the museums:

Huys Dever, a restored castle tower from the 14th century
Keukenhof Castle, part of the Keukenhof estate but open year-round
Museum De Zwarte Tulp (Black Tulip Museum), exhibiting the history of the Dutch' bulb-growing region

This is a fantastic regio. I hope you like the shot. the weather was not perfect. I had to wait for the sun. every time.

Dag, Jaap. Je hebt een uitstekend perspectief gecreëerd met die rijen tulpen verspreid over de breedte van het beeld. De twee soorten tulpen contrasteren goed met elkaar en zelfs als de lucht niet zo briljant is als gewoonlijk, toch vind ik hem niet zo slecht.
Nog een prettige avond,

Bonjour mon ami Jaap,
tu es passé à Lisse à un meilleur moment que moi, les tulipes étaient encore bien valeureuses et vaillantes. Les couleurs sont splendides, la photo qu'il ne fallait pas rater, mais en as-tu déjà raté une ?
Belle perspective fuyante.
Regards.
Daniel.

You say the weather was not perfect but the photo is and it is what matters. You got a great colour combination with the left pink row changing to yellow in the background. Well done.

Hallo Jaap,
the Netherlands, a land full of flower colours in spring with wonderful lines arranged by the people working there. Sorry, I am kidding. A lovely colour capture of flowers dominated by the two colours. The break in the middle between the colours is great.
Lieben Gruss, Ulf

Hello Jaap,
This traditional topic is extremely well treated. The point of view and framing create a strong effect of depth. The colors marry with the cloudy sky. A beautiful image with a perfection without surprise.
Have a nice day

Wonderful image with typical Holland. Good composed lines, colours are well balanced and saturated.

Hi Jaap,

Oh oh oh, daar wordt het me weer ingewreven dat ik dit jaar wéér de bloembollen velden gemist heb wat fotografie betreft...
Het licht valt hier een beetje tegen. Dat is eigenlijk ook de reden dat ik geen tulpen heb gefotografeerd. Elke keer keek ik naar het weerbericht of het loonde om de trip te maken, maar elke keer was het niet helemaal zeker of het weer goed zou zijn. En ja, om daar nu om 6 uur 's ochtends te staan met een wolkendek, dat vond ik ook zonde van het vroege opstaan ;-).

Groetjes!
Dennis

Hi Jaap,

We have the impression that these fields do not finish so much there is depth in the image !!! These floors of tulips are extraordinary for the photographers… Here I like the harmony between the sky and the ground. It is very pleasant to look at and of good quality, thank you Jaap.

With all my friendships and a very good afternoon,

Hallo Jaap,

Ook een bezoek gebracht aan de tulpen velden, waar Nederland rijk aan is, en ook een beetje trots mag op zijn, een wereld product.
Perspectief daar moet men niet aan twijfelen, de gele en puper tulpen naast elkaar geeft een mooie mengeling van kleuren.
Jaap ik was ook enigzins verbaast toen ik foto's ging nemen van tulpen, maar volgens de landbouwer zijn er steeds nieuwe kleuren bij, die puperachtige tulpen had ik nog nooit gezien, het is een raar kleur.
Was het landschap daar in een beetje in helling, of is de foto even schuin genomen, maar dat is geen dood zonde.
Goed gedaan.

Groeten uit Vlaanderen,
John.

Hello Jaap,
A superb capture of these tulip fields in their glorious colours. The depth of focus is quite superb. The colours are understated and very natural under that soft light. Very interesting and comprehensive accompanying commentary.

Hallo Jaap,
Niet je beste, bij lange na niet. Vind de kleuren flets, vooral het rood is niks, lijkt eerder op paars. Snap dat het licht niet top was en dat is meteen het euvel bij dit soort opnames van die velden. Je moet hier echt goed licht hebben om die bloemen te laten knallen op kleur, of je zal zwaar moeten gaan photoshoppen om kunstmatig licht te gaan toevoegen, maar persoonlijk verkies ik natuurlijk licht.
Fijne avond, Henk
p.s
Lees net je reply en wellicht heb je gelijk over die net niet echt rode kleur, ik ben gewoon gewend om rode bloembollen te zien, misschien vandaar ;-)

Hi Jaap,
these are the kinds of shots I expect to see from the Nehterlands, great flowers with lovely colors and you really did a great job, the depth of field is great, the colors are amazing and the sky is lovely, thanks for sharing!

Jaap,
quite interesting to see you last three posts at TE side by side. All have the same principle of lines converging into some imaginary infinite point at the end of the horizon. You manage this kind of ocmposition extremely well.
