Painters travel here from far and wide just to paint the clouds.
Reflected strangely by the water, the light is soft and gauzy
like a dream that doesn’t know it’s being dreamt. In winter,
it warps the shadows with its weight, as there are no shadows
in dreams. Diffusion between particles intertwines the edges.
A place that makes its own light.
XXX Amsterdam - Hollands Licht
