Good Mornin' Nathan,

.... from a sunny, hot (33+) western Canada.
(Sorry, but after your plea for compassion, I
couldn't resist gloating ... our summer has been
unusually cold and wet, too ... though the last 8
days have been marvellous!  With luck, you too
will see such days before August is out!)

As for your photos, I love the main choice ...
the light is great, the sculpture,
fascinating.   It looks to be a marvellous
park. You say it's large, by Dutch standards... do you know how many hectares? 

Thanks for sharing all your shots ... all excellent, as usual. :-)

Cheers!
