Netherlands – A White Wonderland

NetherlandsSunrise

I was lucky enough the other day to be arriving in the Netherlands, just as blue skies appeared after a snowfall. Even before I saw land the sun rising in the cold cold air from over the North Sea was a wonderful spectacle. It looks so calm and warm on this picture doesn’t it? Well the chill factor was most certainly there. Loved it :D

Soon enough the flat landscape appeared in this wonderful European country. So so different to many places I venture to. Flat.. no hills… flat and miles and miles of more flat landscape. I have to admit it is so refreshing to see life in a whole new perspective this way. And, wow, the fresh frozen snow, the trees frozen white, miles and miles of natural whiteness contrasting against the deep blue sky. A spectacle to remember.

    It's always fun to read what foreigners think of your country. I myself am quite bored with our flat Dutch landscape… There's nothing to see! I prefer the UK, actually. To me it's much friendlier and more flowing than ours. But I do love these photos. I do like snowy landscapes, especially when the sky is blue and the sun is shining.

    These are remarkable photos Paul. I hope to be doing that later this year. I'll be heading to the UK first. :)
