Winter at the coast...

You wouldn't believe it, but we were actually walking between hailstorms yesterday. You're looking eastward at a marshland of reeds as far as the eye can see. It is called 'Scheelhoek' (Cross-Eyed Corner) and it's a wildlife sanctuary (dear heaven) near Stellendam, Holland, situated at the shores of the great Haringvliet - a fresh water lake that borders the North Sea.

Five minutes later the hailstones were drumming on my camera pack. But hé, this is winter in Holland for you.
