English:
Due to a stable high pressure area in the north of Europe the Netherlands suffered from strong and very cold winds from the east lasting for about a week. In times of climate change this has become a quite rare meteorological phenomenon. Because of the strong frost nights and moderate frost days the ice grew quickly in the smaller streams and canals of Holland.
During those rare occasions a lot of Dutch people get their skates from the attic and skate all day. Especially along canals with windmills this creates a beautiful setting for taking pictures. In this case the world heritage site of Kinderdijk in the south of Holland is photographed late in the afternoon on March the 3rd.

Nederlands:
Ten gevolge van een stabiel hogedrukgebied in het noorden van Europa kreeg Nederland te maken met sterke en erg koude wind uit het oosten die ongeveer een week aanhielden. In tijden van klimaatverandering is dit een zeldzaam meteorologisch verschijnsel geworden. Vanwege de strenge vorst in de nachten en de matige tot lichte vorst overdag groeide het ijs snel in kleinere vaarten en kanalen van Holland.
Bij dergelijke zeldzame gebeurtenissen halen vele Nederlanders hun schaatsen van zolder om de hele dag te gaan schaatsen.
Met name op vaarten met windmolens levert dit prachte beelden op. In dit geval is het werelderfgoed Kinderdijk gefotografeerd laat in de middag op 3 maart.

che si fugge tuttavia!

How beautiful is youth
that runs away anyway!
Who wants to be happy, either:
of tomorrow there is no certainty.

A little bit of sunshine to cheer us all up, as we continue to be lashed by storm after storm.

This time with Samsung S9, jpeg. The raw mode did not work.
I just realized dng files were not created when back at home. Had to reset the camera. Bad for Samsung.
