Aalsmeer, The Netherlands

Once a week or so I will post photo essays.  Here is my second.

Few places display the intricacies of international trade like Aalsmeer, Holland, home of the largest wholesale flower market in the world.  Most of the flowers that traipse through Aalsmeer are not even grown in Holland--many come in late at night from Africa, and are often sold off around the world before most of us wake up.  I was fascinated by the constant movement and geometric patterns.
