Snowdrop in the Shadow. Siegerpark, Sloten, Amsterdam, The Netherlands
More or less in the shadow of the huge buildings of the Amsterdam branch of PricewaterhouseCoopers, the enormous Professional Services Network and one of the big four international accounting firms, is the small and delicate Siegerpark (1936) founded by Johan Gerhard Wilhelm Sieger (1886-1958) director of the Amsterdams Chininefabriek, a mundial player once of the quinine trade (www.flickr.com/photos/87453322@N00/26707114331/in/photoli...). Sieger was a passionate naturalist and also a beekeeper. He believed that bee poisons could be developed into a medicine against rheumatism.
This morning I didn't see many bees, but there were lots of Snowdrops in the glades of the park. The photo was taken from a litte hand-drawn ferry that crosses this ditch to access ultimately the so-called Nieuwe Meer.
