Description

Winter in the Dutch Dunes (2) This photo was taken yesterday morning in the Dunes between Noordwijk and Zandvoort, near the Zilk in the Netherlands Just a 3 or 4 kilometers behind the shoreline. Just the first spots of blue sky after heavy snow. This is a flat area which can be rather wet and muddy; currently it was frozen for a small part. Last night we had a lot of frost (-12 Celsius), not so common in Holland. They expect freezing weather for the coming days, so the snow will last a little bit longer then normally, the negative part is that the snow is destroying the quality of the ice, it might get difficult to skate on natural ice!! Thanks for viewing, and your lovely words on my previous posting, comments are always welcome. Have a very nice day Henk

There are stretches of land in and around Chicago that achieve this beautiful level of bleakness and I love them in winter, for exactly that reason. This is a stunning image: it may be cold and perhaps even uncomfortable, but there's a stark, raw beauty to winder and I love it, even if it's not always entirely comfortable. I love this image: the open land and the bare trees seem to tell a rather poetic story.
