Giant Tulip Rises from Cargo Bike on Ferry

Bright winter daylight floods the wet deck of a ferry crossing near Amsterdam. A dark cargo bicycle loaded with bundles of red and white tulips rests diagonally across the metal floorboards. A massive tulip stem erupts from the center of the cargo box, its bloom reaching the height of a mature tree. The giant flower towers over the bike, its broad petals catching the drizzle. Raindrops bead on the rubber tires and steel frame beside the impossible scale of the bloom. The gray water churns below the railing, reflecting the overcast sky. The diagonal angle of the bike cuts across the frame, showing the impossible scale of the bloom rising into the open daylight. A tiny bird perches on the highest petal.
