Skagit Valley Tulip Festival, Mount Vernon, WA
Skagit Valley Tulip Festival, Mount Vernon, WA
The song "Dekha Ek Kwaab" from the Bollywood move Silsila was shot in the Keukenhof tulip gradens in The Netherlands. I had always wanted to see the acres and acres of tulips - Netherlands still remains a dream destination. When my friends in Seattle had posted a few photographs of tulip gardens a couple of years ago - I decided to visit Seattle in conjunction with the famous Skagit Valley Tulip Festival in Mount Vernon.
Day 2 of our
travel saw us waking up at 4:15
AM to catch the breaking dawn. We left Seattle at 4:45AM to drive to Mt. Vernon by road.
Reached Skagit Valley at 5:45AM. Spent 15 minutes searching for this particular
spot below along Bestroad to catch the sun rise.
The sun just broke out and we parked along Bestroad around 6:20AM.
Got the sun flare shot below around 6:25AM. Though we missed the sunrise and
was late - I got a few good shots.
The 2 flower fields - Rozengarden and Skaget Valley receives hundreds and thousands of people who come to enjoy the celebration of spring. I'm glad we caught the sunrise , the golden light was perfect to shoot. Along within the company of atleast 50 odd photographers, I've never felt this comfortable - far away from the maddening crowd that thronged along during day time
