If you google ‘Dutch landscape paintings’, you’ll find paintings where fabulous swirls of clouds are the focus (rather than the landscape itself).
I can see why after snapping this shot (on my mobile phone) from a fast-moving car on the way to Zwolle from Amsterdam.
It was raining, but the trees in the fading light were stunning.

Wow Fi, hope you were not driving that piece of road, or did you go by train? Never seen a bright yellow- orange cloud in Holland!

It reminds me of landscape painter John Constable, images of clouds on many paintings. He makes the cows in fields seem like an afterthought – ha!

I wish the clouds above the Netherlands would always be that colourful and photogenic. In March we have only seen boring grey skies so far.
