Winter Windmills
December 2022: Final week, we had excessive chilly in The Netherlands which doesn’t occur that a lot anymore due to world warming. It prompted canals to freeze and we had been capable of ice skate on most locations on the Dutch countryside yesterday morning.
All of those pictures had been taken on the morning of December 18, 2022 with temperatures of round -8 Celsius. I had all the time needed to seize the Dutch windmills this fashion.
The final word Dutch scene: A household ice skating subsequent to the huge windmills over Kinderdijk.
It wasn’t that crowded on the ice within the early morning. I took my time to stroll round and noticed this minimalistic scene, waited for some skaters to return by to seize one other Dutch traditional.
The ambiance was extraordinarily lovely earlier than the solar got here up with pink colours within the sky, and all of the foliage coated in frost.
‘regular’ landscapes instantly appeared magical with the frost and the deep blue hour, earlier than the solar rose.
The primary gentle hitting the windmills and the twilight colours nonetheless overlaying the skies, with an occasional ice skater coming by. These are the perfect mornings of the 12 months.
When the solar was up increased, you may actually see all of the white landscapes coated in frost. An incredible finish to this spectacular morning.
