Fountain

The Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam has a nice garden with free entrance where you can relaxe and watch the sculptures of Henry Moore and a nice fountain.

When coming closer I wondered what on earth this father was doing there with his child in the middle of the fountain.

Then I saw it was a special fountain with different parts which went up and down and in the middle you could stand dry. It was a great succes and not only for children.

  1. It would be most fun to sit and read or watch or look at garden and fountain and watch the antics of children and parents at play. This is quite lovely :)

  3. The fountain is nice , but what I really like is how the hedges are trimmed to make it look like the people are sitting in the middle of the hedge. nice shot

  4. What a fun idea. The second photo sure looks like he is standing in the water but not getting wet.

  5. We visited this museum this spring - it was nothing short of spectacular! I hadn't realized the sculptures were Matisse - needing to go back now :)

  6. Dearest Marianne,
    That looked indeed very deceiving as if that father was in the water with his child... As long as the weather is pleasant this makes for a great weekend escape.
    Hugs to you and a happy new week.

  9. Oh what a fabulous fountain - I'd love to stand inside too. I'm really enjoying your blog. I find that I knew very little of your country and it is gloriously wonderful. I'm enjoying exploring your blog.
