Winter in the Netherlands!

Yes, a storm is coming to us! It's storm Corrie and it hits tonight and tomorrow! So i am looking for a nice spot to park my camper and go out and do some storm chasing! I hope it won't rain so hard and that I have enough opportunities to shoot some cool pictures!

Today it's a quiet day and the sun is shining! I will go out for some vitamin D. But the sad part is that if it's nice weather on a Sunday, many many people take there screaming children out to the forest! That's the down side of living in a densely populated country!

But last weeks the weather was pretty foggy and that is my favorite weather to go out for a hike. The world is so moody and quiet in foggy conditions i just love that!

Here are some pictures of the so called Avenue without an end! (laantje zonder eind) It is a 5 kilometres lang path throughout the woods, from my home town of Zeist to the town of Soesterberg!
I have never walked the complete way but will do that some time! Maybe a will document it entirely

This is my favorite part of this lane! These trees are very tall and they are probably pretty old to. I don't know how old but this part of the forest belongs to an estate that was built in the year 1770!

As soon as the sun came through the sun rays burst through the branches of the trees! I love those moments!

This is a typical bike lane in the Dutch forest! Pretty narrow but we Dutchies can handle it! I have never bumped into oncoming traffic!

These trees are amazing! I had no idea that some trees were this large in Europe! Sequoias in California get all of the attention, apparently. lol

The light breaking through the trees creates a fantastic picture! Great stuff!

Thanks for sharing this view into your forest. Such beautiful Dutch countryside!

Cheers!
