In the green hills of central Bosnia and Herzegovina,

Halim Zukic has recreated a nature park in the form of one of Vincent van Gogh's most famous paintings, The Starry Night.
哈利姆·祖基奇以文森特·梵高最著名的画作之一《星空》的形式重建了一个自然公园。
Zukic is from the town of Visoko.
祖基奇来自维索科镇。
He decided to create a park after buying some land and a small house in a nearby village 20 years ago.

Then he saw tractors moving among fields of tall grass six years ago.
六年前，他看到拖拉机在高高的草丛中行驶。
He also saw that the tractors made circular shapes in the earth.

This reminded him of similar shapes in Van Gogh's painting.
这让他想起了梵高画作中类似的形状。
"From that moment, I was no longer in doubt," Zukic told Reuters news agency.
“从那一刻起，我就不再疑惑不决了，”祖基奇告诉路透社。

To match the painting, Zukic brought in 130,000 lavender plants in six colors.

Plants known for their aromas and medicinal uses were also planted.

These include sage, echinacea, wormwood and chamomile.

Together, they form colorful circles and help recreate the appearance of Van Gogh's painting.
它们一起形成色彩缤纷的圆圈，帮助重现梵高画作的外观。
Zukic also planted more trees and created 13 small lakes using water from the area.

Zukic did the work to form the land into the same shape as the painting by himself.

He said recreating the painting has helped him better understand artists and the creative problems they face.

"This is the largest representation of The Starry Night, and the result of 20 years of dreams, of living those dreams to make them real," he said.
