Netherlands 🇳🇱
Kitesurfing along the endless tulip fields in the Netherlands.
In Holland, tulips bloom from the end of March to the middle of May. During this period, the country is visited by hundreds of thousands of tourists who, as if by agreement, go to the same place (for example, Keukenhof). By doing this, they miss the opportunity to see hundreds of other fields where there is not a soul.
You can buy a train ticket 100 kilometers from Amsterdam and rent a bike to visit private farm fields. There are several regions in the Netherlands where tulips are grown: in the north, northeast and south.

Cuddling with a huge whale in the Gulf of Mexico Baja California.
Gray whales spend summer and autumn in the northern latitudes near the peninsulas of Alaska and Chukotka, where they fatten and gain fat in the company of killer whales and humpbacks.
From January to April, they chose shallow lagoons, bays and bays on the west coast of the Baja California Peninsula – sharks and killer whales that pose a danger to cubs do not swim here.
In the 70s of the last century, local fishermen noticed that gray whales willingly swim up to the boats. One of them stroked the whale on the head — in response, the marine animal began to flirt peacefully with the boat. Since then, the hobby of watching gray whales has gained popularity among conscious travelers and has become on a par with photo safari and birdwatching.

The Umngot River (or Dauki) is an amazing miracle of nature, because the water in it is completely transparent in the period from November to February.
In April 2021, the provincial government decided to build a dam on the river due to a shortage of electricity. The project was a 210 MW hydroelectric power plant.
It caused a negative reaction from local residents who feared that its construction would undermine tourism. In the end, the project was curtailed and the locals defended such beauty.

Organisms painted the lake in various colors: cyanobacteria living at a water temperature of 73 ° C – yellow, protozoa unicellular (66 ° C) – orange, fungi and algae (60 ° C) – yellow / green, mosses (50 ° C) – brown.

To feel all its power - it is worth going down to the very bottom to its foot. At the bottom you will find yourself as if in a bowl surrounded by mighty rocks and the roar of water flows.
