Floriade 1992


Floriade Posted by Hello


Floriade, the grand horticulture show is held only every ten years. We were able to witness the beautiful grand parade held each September in Amsterdam prior to visiting the Floriade and we also marvelled at the awesome flowers displayed at Keukenhof gardens that was why we were determined to see the grandest display of all which showed hundreds of hectares of all varieties of flowers and plants.

I sacrificed bringing my two heavy SLR cameras just to capture the beauty of all the flowers.

The 1992 Floriade held in 1992 in Zoetermeer, Netherlands.

Fontainebleau Castle


Fontainbleau Castle, France Posted by Hello

Fontainbleau is a small village just south of Paris surrounded by forests. Its main attraction is the 16th century castle which is actually the first renaissance building outside Italy.

The castle was built from 16th until the 18th century. In the 16th century, Francois I transformed the castle into a Renaissance palace decorated by Florentine artists. The castle was made into a national museum since 1870.
