My new oasis: arboretum Trompenburg

[gk fotografie]

In the past few months I find myself more and more often in the arboretum Trompenburg in Rotterdam, NL. Although located next to a soccer stadium (!) in the largest port city of Europe, the Trompenburg arboretum is a haven of peace and for me, after all the medical conditions of the past year, a new resting point in my life. In addition to trees, all kinds of flowers can be found, as well as greenhouses with cacti and aviaries with birds. The arboretum has its own mushroom nursery and plenty of koi carp in the ponds and ditches. I hope that the accompanying photos show the peace and quiet that this lovely arboretum radiates.

These are really lovely images. We have a conservatory here in Seattle I often visit when I'm in need of a respite from the hectic urban bustle. In a purely selfish way, I'm glad more folks don't frequent the conservatory on a regular basis, as it is a relatively small building. A smaller attendance also makes it easier to set-up and use my tripod.

Thank you, I don't have too much knowledge of plants, insects etc., but this Acer palmatum "Corallinum" really stands out in terms of color.
