Art and Cherry Blossoms...

On our final day in Amsterdam, I wandered around by myself. I visited the Anzo Nobel Art Space. Skies Over Snaefell, named after a mountain in Iceland, featured 1,536 LED lamps that changed colors.  
Will You Stay With Me apparently lies somewhere in-between a hallucinogenic mushroom and an umbrella.
Performing a Landscape was a landscape generated by a gaming simulator overlaid on a video of a storm.
Hyperrealist sculpture Hopes and Dreams was made in 1999 using euros which were not yet in circulation. According to American artist Tony Matelli: Yes, money does grow on trees, but only in art where everything is an illusion, a glass globe on the point of bursting.
Nearby I saw some of Mother Nature’s spring artwork in a park...
…and next to another complex in the style of the Amsterdam School.
