"Mudhole" what's in a name ?

There is a very small village in the north of the Netherlands called "Moddergat" which translates as 'Mudhole".

Fascinating, I had heard the name before but had never been there as it is a 2 hr drive from my house.

And what's to find there but ... mud !

However now the bit of see across the dyke was frozen and we could walk across it instead of through the mud.

Just in time we arrived to capture this sunrise reflecting on the ice.

A few hours later we were forced to return home again, due to strong wind and horizontally flying snow it was impossible to take any more pictures.
