Winter in the Netherlands...NOT!!

Winter in the Netherlands! It's not what you think! For now we had about 2 day's where there was some frost in the morning and we had some day's where it was almost 15 degrees Celsius... It felt like it was spring that day!

But we do had a lot of fog the last couple of weeks! So I spent a lot of time outside! One day I went outside early in the morning and the conditions were so unbelievably good that a little bit of fog lingered all day and the sun's rays could be seen almost all day long!

I shot so many pictures that day that i just begin posting it in parts! Starting the morning.

It started out a little grey but quickly the sun showed it self and came up wright behind this office building that is located in the park! I wanted to get everything at the other side of the water in the frame but that didn't work because the reflection of the trees didn't fit in the frame! Even with my 14 mm canon lens! So I shot 5 portrait orientated pictures and stitch them together in lightroom!

Wen I stood there, two swans came to me and where looking at what I was doing! And what better than swans in a picture! So I got up and tried to capture them. Quickly changes my lens and because I stood up I scared them and they flew away. But I did manege to take these two pictures!

In the background and the top right corner you see to goose flying! I think that's a nice detail! I always wanted to photograph swans that either took off or landed on the water, I find that a fascinating sight. I really have to sit down for that because this picture doesn't looks that good!

In the Netherlands we cal it, cold as water! It's about zero to 5 degrees Celsius and because the humidity is very high, it feels like very cold water! It's hard to describe but i prefer minus 15 on Iceland than 5 degrees in the Netherlands! 😅

I like the pics, and would want to personally experience winter out of curiosity because we don't have winter in Nigeria.

I love the first picture, for the way you composed the reflections in the frame and the third picture for the sepia tone you were able to capture. Best regards !

I love the photos. They are so ethereal and moody. I really think that they're naked branches are so romantically eerie. Every season has its beauty. Excellent captures
