On the 16th of January it snowed for the first time this winter in Amsterdam. Because the temperature was around freezing, the snow stayed there for a while. It only got a few centimeters of snow. The best advice is to stay indoors and turn the stove up a bit. Or of course to go outside to take some nice pictures. In addition to the nuisance, the snow also provides a lot of fun for children here in Amsterdam's Jordaan. Snowball fight, make snowmen or go sledding. All fun activities that children do in this beautiful snowy world. Those who think away for a while can imagine themselves in Hendrick Avercamp's world today. The snow was enough for a few hours of uninhibited winter fun in the streets of Amsterdam. Earlier in the afternoon it was still quiet on the gray canals, since the first snow had stuck to the ground by four o'clock, the neighborhood has turned out for an hour of carefree winter entertainment. The chance that the snow will still be there tomorrow morning seems quite small. During the night the snow may turn into rain and during the day it will be about 6 degrees.

 

This evening I walk in my neighbourhood and made some beautiful photos of a little layer of snow. The virgin white carpet of snow is crunching under my shoes. I began to remember why I love the winters so much. This time around, the canals remained relatively ice-free and there was a little layer of snow. Photo taken here at the corner of Nieuwe Leliestraat and Derde Egelantiersdwarsstraat in Amsterdam.

 

Op 16 januari heeft het voor het eerst deze winter gesneeuwd in Amsterdam. Omdat de temperatuur rond het vriespunt lag, bleef de sneeuw eventjes liggen. Een paar centimeters sneeuw werden het maar. Het beste advies is dan maar om lekker binnen te blijven en de kachel iets hoger te zetten. Of natuurlijk even naar buiten te gaan om wat mooie plaatjes te schieten. Naast de overlast zorgt de sneeuw ook voor veel plezier bij kinderen hier in de Amsterdamse Jordaan. Sneeuwballen gevecht, sneeuwpoppen maken of sleetje rijden. Allemaal leuke activiteiten die kinderen doen in deze mooie besneeuwde wereld. Wie even wegdenkt kan zich vandaag in Hendrick Avercamps wereld wanen. De sneeuw was voldoende voor een paar uur ongeremde winterpret in de straten van Amsterdam. Was het eerder op de middag nog rustig op de grijze grachten, sinds de eerste sneeuw tegen vier uur aan de grond bleef plakken, is de buurt uitgelopen voor een uurtje onbekommerd wintervermaak. De kans dat de sneeuw er morgenochtend nog ligt lijkt vrij klein. In de nacht gaat de sneeuw mogelijk over in regen en overdag wordt het dan zo'n 6 graden.

 

I went out early yesterday to greet the dawn. What a treat! Early morning on the Bighead River near Bognor, Ontario.

The Rowing Boatsheds at night from the Birrarung Marr side of the river. With the blue lit Arts Centre spire peeking through the overarching trees. Not all the leaves have fallen. Nearby to this photo is the ice skating rink erected for the Rising Festival. HWW

An ambulance makes its way through traffic in Chingford Mount.

The power and silence of joining nature after dark is an incredible experience.

Full moon - "Super Moon" setting over the Bighead River near Bognor, Ontario. The photo was taken approximately 40 minutes before dawn.

What is now called the 'living room of Trieste' was called Piazza San Pietro until 1918, when the city was annexed to the Kingdom of Italy.

It's a peculiar sensation to cross the Wilson Tunnel. The brightly colored walls seem to have lost all substance. Walking is like floating in space. How does it work?

 

Warning signs tell us to stay on the black path. Although the goal, the target of this little voyage beckons us with a homely glow, I felt a hesitation in myself and other visitors to enter this traverse. Is it safe to step into pure light?

 

Light cannot be touched - it touches us. Overwhelmingly blue in this case. Walking in light I noticed that the usual fuzz in my head slowed down. I just felt aware of being there - as long as it lasted. Nothing more, nothing less.

Two paramedics were called out, but I was too late on the scene to know why.

The waning evening light was as beautiful as she was.

I think we all have the Winter blues by now!!! I still have my blue Christmas lights out, around my lamp post! So I took advantage of the moment & this is the effect I got, after a snowfall!

The light was fading on this winter's afternoon when I photographed an oriental turtle dove making its way through foliage, foraging for food.

 

I like that the light has brought out the blues on the plumage, these birds can often be more of a soft orange colour.
