I Think The Netherlands Is The Most Beautiful Country In The World And Here Is Why (28 Pics)

New green leaves and a carpet of flowers decorate this forest in spring!

I love the old classic Dutch architectural style. This is a cheese factory in a touristic area called Zaanse Schans.

My country is known for its beautiful windmills. During foggy mornings they come alive.

Autumn is my favorite season. All the trees get their different colors and it's just a feast for the eyes. In this photo, you see a swirling bike lane through the forest. You get this extreme perspective through photographing with a very long lens.

These days in winter are rare. This is the countryside completely frozen on a very cold winter day in 2018. All the trees turned white. These 'heather' areas in the Netherlands are beautiful throughout the seasons, but especially in August.

A famous windmill park Zaanse Schans. In this photo, the windmills are rising from the fog. The thick fog like this only happens rarely.

I managed to capture these 2 horses playing out in the fields during a spectacular sunrise this spring.

We have many medieval towns. This is Amersfoort, which I find one of the most beautiful towns in the country. I am not at all biased because I was born there.

Only one period per year the sun rises right next to the line of windmills at the famous heritage Kinderdijk.

I also like to spend time at the coast photographing storms and waves. It's very dynamic.

In summer, Scottish highlanders sometimes roam the fields. They're calm, not dangerous, and beautiful to spectate.

Magic always happens n the Dutch countryside. A rainbow appeared here and I saw these cows standing in the field. I ran up to them from the other side of a little water stream and started waving at them to line them up under the rainbow. You can see them looking at me thinking, "What is this guy doing?"

Reitdiephaven, in the north of the country, has a little modern harbor with very interesting colorful architecture.

The endless fields of tulips are a magical sight.

Our famous tulips! Our growers export them to the whole world. I love the colors, and I love tulips! Did you know you can't grow the same flower in the same field for years in a row? That's why the location of the fields always slightly differs. In this particular year (2019), this field was lined up right with this windmill.

Once every few years everything freezes. Here's the coastline, which is normally just sea, completely frozen with ice structures and textures. This particular morning, it was about -15°C. Very cold, but beautiful to be out. This photo was taken in a little town called Marken. They have their own lighthouse.

The Canals of Amsterdam during sunset with spectacular clouds. We call these "Dutch Skies."

Some of these classically styled houses in the countryside areas have their own little bridge!

Sometimes it all comes together. On this particular morning in 2016, the sky had incredible clouds and colors, with a thin layer of fog on the ground, and suddenly, out of nowhere, a shepherd with her sheep walked into my frame. I took this photo, had a chat with her, and later sent her the photo.

And even when the leaves are gone, during foggy days, you get this mystical atmosphere in the forest.

Sometimes, when it's really dark, you can see the Milky Way. Granted, the Netherlands is one of the worst countries to see and photograph the Milky Way, but during dark nights with no moon and relatively low pollution, it's still possible. On this particular night, there was a meteor storm happening.

There are our beautiful forests, that look amazing throughout all the seasons. I aim to photograph them in the morning with high humidity. You then get these beautiful rays peeking through the trees. It's like a fairytale.

A very misty morning in the countryside when the moon was setting shows how the area looks in August. Everything looks completely purple. A real fairytale.

We have incredible beaches as far as the eye can see. Along with the coast you often find spectacular clouds and sunsets. We have islands up north that are incredible.

In April, even the capital, Amsterdam, has tulips everywhere through the city! It's called the Tulip Festival.

These trees look like they're in Africa.

We aso have spectacular modern architecture. This is part of the skyline is Rotterdam which has one of the biggest harbors in the world.
