I was in Amsterdam recently, it was the result of train tickets being on hold throughout the pandemic. I went to the Van Gogh Museum and wrote this as I wandered around.
Van Gogh Museum Tourist Statistic
she has her vision
he is directed to position her on the screen
The Sunflowers on her shoulder
she is the centre piece
he presents the result
she shakes her head
two more attempts are needed
before she smiles
I continue to watch as
twenty other people photograph
the painting in their turn
all vying for the best shot
then I snake through the crowds
to catch glimpses of paintings
no one wanted to buy
when the artist was alive
Please do not think I am critical of the couple, I am not, I was just fascinated by their vision. I don't tend to take photographs of paintings because my efforts are no where near as good as the real thing.
Amsterdam was fun, it is a very beautiful city. I was taken with the illuminated trees as you can see.
Pollyanna is just presenting her labour songs project, sadly I cannot find any videos of it, but from what I've heard it sounds boss. Here's an earlier video.
Until next time.
