It was an easy one again wasn't it? Such an iconic look: tulip fields in the Netherlands. In this case they were in the Noordoostpolder, but that is not something that you would know from the photo, so Netherlands was accepted. Whole points going to Gera, Hilary, Debby and Millie and Walter. 3/4 points going to Harm, Janice and Yamini for not quite mentioning either tulips or country. Sorry, I had to be tough!
My story? Well, as I already mentioned, I lived in that part of the world for 14 years and every spring, the tulips would be pulled up (the ground would be covered in plastic sheeting to allow all the plants to come up at roughly the same time that is wanted by the farmer) and views like this would be there for all to enjoy! I actually did a couple of tulip tours as well, driving tourists around and giving them more information about the area as well.
On to this week's challenge and I think I may have picked a toughie. Who and where is this? Have you ever been? Tell us your story. Answer next week.
How wonderful that you were able to give tours around the tulip fields, I would love to have been on one with you.
ReplyDeleteOh I know who that is, being a Royalist through and through, it’s Prince Albert, Consort to Queen Victoria, but as to where the statue is, that is tricky. The building doesn’t look British, so I think it must be in Germany where he was born and as he was born in Saxe-Coburg, (is that a place? Or is it just Coburg?), I think it is there. Sorry never been there.

ReplyDeleteStrict decisions accepted! As for this week's I had also thought this resembled QV's consort... but beyond that I knew not and defer to my good pal above who does indeed know her stuff about that regal crowd!!! YAM xx
I may of course be totally wrong, hehe.
DeleteThat was a good guess on our part last week. We have no idea where or who the new picture is of.
ReplyDeleteAlthough the buildings look Dutch I wonder if it is Stockholm, Sweden. I don't know who the figure represents.
ReplyDeleteNo clue but I will say it is a must impressive statue...

Yay! I don't believe I've ever seen this statue.
ReplyDeleteI am sure that it would be wonderful to see the tulip fields like that.
ReplyDeleteYou are generous to give any credit!
