One of four shots of butterflies that I took in the Hortus Botanicus botanical garden in Amsterdam earlier this month. My new 24-70 2.8L is one fun lens to play with.

A green treasure hidden in the historical centre of Leiden. Founded in 1590, this is the oldest botanical garden in the Netherlands.

Hortus Botanicus

The Hortus Botanicus Amsterdam is one of the oldest botanic gardens in the world. Located in the city centre of the Dutch capital, the garden is a beautiful and intimate place with an unique collection of plants. In the midst of busy city the Hortus offers an oasis of tranquillity, a flowery relief in the urban busyness.
