An Amazing Shot! I love the vivid colors! #2484244Susie Peek-Swint March 02, 2006
I'd venture either Apeldoorn (Netherlands) or Mount Vernon :) ~~ wherever, it's a beautiful shot Jim! #2486964Darwin A. Mulligan March 02, 2006
Skagit Valley, Washington State #2487411Janice Meyers March 02, 2006
I love the colors, and leading lines,Janet Kinney March 02, 2006
Beautiful picture! Think this is the area in Amsterdam near Kukenhouf (sp?) Gardens. There are fields and fields of these beautiful tulips and daffodils. Great shot. Wonderful website. Thanks. #2487877Nadya Johnson March 02, 2006
Wonderful shot! Such color and form. My guess would be south-central California, as I've seen flower fields spreading off forever there, much like this photograph portrays. The mountains also say "California," although of course I could be wrong by half a world ... Perfect photo for a travel magazine! #2487947Janine Russell March 02, 2006
Jim, great colors and composition; this shot was taken at the Skagit Valley Tulip Festival in LaConner, Washington. #2487962Oscar Magtibay March 02, 2006
Carlsbad, California! #2488169Suzanne Kish March 02, 2006
I know! I know!! Lompac, CA I lived there for about 18 months and they have fields all the way to the mountains of flowers. Lompoc, CA is known as the seed capital of the world. Brilliant colors. #2488182Carol H. Rice March 02, 2006
My guess is Holland, Michigan. The tulips are beautiful.Carol Rice #2488854

My guess is WA state. Beautiful! Love the little guy in the rain coat. #2488988Luis Curran March 02, 2006
La Conner, Washington #2489480Rajan R. Seriampalayam March 02, 2006
This is probably The tulip garden in Keukenhoff, Holland. This is an amazing picture. #2489574Robert Currie March 02, 2006
This shot is definitely taken at the Skagit Valley Tulip Festival in La Conner WA. #2489749Sharon E. Myers March 03, 2006
Awesome photo. Beautiful colors. I believe this photo was taken at the Tulip Festival in Washington State. #2490476David Collins March 03, 2006
Well two other people I think got it right before me, but my first thought was Lompoc, CA. I lived in that area for about 9 years and still have the memories of awesome smells of flower fields. #2491214Michael Bartkoski March 03, 2006
It has to be where you have your class, Skagit County, WA #2491451rudy w. cooper March 03, 2006
That's a wonderful image. I'd have to say it was taken in Lompoc, Ca. #2491725Jim Miotke My Courses March 03, 2006
What do you think? Should we tell them yet, Kerry? ;-) #2491921Bernard B. Travers March 07, 2006
How about the Mount Vernon, WA tulip fields? #2508955Jim Miotke My Courses March 07, 2006
Yes, all of you who said Skagit Valley Tulip Festival near Mount Vernon were 100% correct.Have you been to this festival Bernie, as it's practically in your back yard, right? And I see that it is close to home for many BetterPhoto members.
I will doing a one-day shoot there this year... hopefully the tulips will be in bloom just before Easter:
My upcoming tulip shoot
Thanks for playing, everyone. This was certainly a fun one for me :) #2508999

Oh yes, I've done the Tulip circuit several times. Great subject matter. And yes, I don't live very far from there. Roozengaarde Park is my wife's favorite place to go during the season. #2509132Matthew J. Kirsch March 15, 2006
I going with somewhere in Holland, just because they have a lot of tulips there.Matt #2537051

I have photos similar to this. So, my guess is during the Tulip Festival in Mt. Vernon, WA. #2549013Candy Dzenkiw May 20, 2006
Well, I surely know after reading all the responses where the location is! I just wanted to say I enjoy the converging lines and the color surprise in yellow! :-) Thanks for sharing....Jim Miotke My Courses June 03, 2006
Thank you everyone for your additional comments.By the way, we had a great (but wet) Tulip Tromp. The rain just added great texture to many of our photos... I don't have all of the photos in any one place but here are a few links to photos from the Tulip Tromp:
