Springtime in Holland
International Photobank photographers have spent time in Holland this spring and have returned with a great bag of new pictures of the glorious Keukenhof Gardens looking their best with a kaleidoscope of colours – the greatest spring flower show on earth. Rotterdam, perhaps one of the most dynamic cities in Western Europe, also faced the Photobank cameras with its dramatic modern skyline and bridges overlooking one of the busiest ports in the world. Belgium too was not forgotten this spring when the sunshine brought out the café society in the squares that surround the Cathedral and the Grote Market in Antwerp, a wonderful opportunity for roving travel photographers.
