Its Finally WINTER in HOLLAND

Above left- This morning our frontdoor lane, we could hardly see the road, because of the fog
Above right -Its sure winter in HOLLAND with beautiful sunny, brights, blue sky´s,

some trees did not loose their leaves

This morning... In Front of my door you see this view...

Above Left- cars are driving slowly to their work in the early morning rushhour

Above Right-The emphy field because the cows are in the cold winter indoors.

It was this morning foggy & the snow was melting, watch it!

Its very very slippery on the road ....

Also today a typical Dutch view,

Above left: with a Dutch windmill and a boat in frozen water, he will not go far today...

Above right: The sun is shining on the yellow grass....

The frozen water is like a morror...

A person is standing there, shall I go for a skatetour or not..

Yes! Its possible! After 12 years we can skate on ice...!!

And even more than that, the ICE is 15 cm so good enough for a Marathon...

Legs are going..........

and the SKY reflected in ICE

Historical LOW TEMPERATURE

in the South of Holland went down with 21/25 degrees celsius UNDER zero! That is spectacularly LOW! The temperature has not been this low for 12 years...More than 6000 people are expected to skate an ICE marathon today, to practise for this weekend´s SKATE-marathon- , we also call a `special know Dutch tour` the 11 town skate tour. While skating you are passing 11 towns-villages. Holland is welknown by its many canals wich is connecting the town by water. The fanatic skaters have been waiting so long for this absolutely great in icefuntour, the skaters are leaving early in the morning 7 am and they are sjating all day long, and they are hoping to reach the finish! We are wishing them GOOD LUCK.

I´ll better stick on the Frozen canals nearby my village , maybe I will skate half an hour ,than I´ll go back home for a hot chocolatemilk or a warm soup with a toast. And a good warmingup for an open wood fire. That sounds much better to me....

How about you?

Are you an fanatic skater?

When did you skate for the last time?

THANK YOU FOR YOUR COMMENTS

HAPPY WEEKEND
