The 2015 Corso Zundert, the legendary parade of giant floats adorned with thousands of dahlia flowers that twist through the narrow streets of Zundert, Netherlands. 19 teams took inspiration from the work of Vincent van Gogh who was born in Zundert 162 years ago.

Love this talk from Elizabeth Gilbert (writer). Actually I love everything Elizabeth Gilbert does, fullstop. Answering the question – where does your creativity come from?
