Here is a beautiful photo of a hippie father walking in Amsterdam's famous Vondelpark with a tiny daughter - I lived in Amsterdam and know Vondelpark very well as one of my favourite places (Filmmuseum) was situated there. The picture is beautiful as it is but the story continues further as sculptor Ció Abellí used is as inspiration for a stunning sculpture that graces centre of Ibiza and for many years it was symbol of summer vacation spot, right in front of discotheque Pacha and its Flower Power party. Nobody really knew who were the real people behind the picture and the sculpture until many years a Dutch woman visited Ibiza and to her surprise, recognised famous picture of her little self walking in the park with her father - apparently the guy was a famous Dutch actor and this is his daughter, now grown up Radha. This is still not the end of the story as Dutch writer contacted the photographer for permission to use the image for her new novel about the father and his child, so its just amazing how one particular moment in time continues to live on and on.
