We went on an overnight trip down to Atlanta. Attending the Industrial Nation presents Cold Waves 2025 at The Masquerade (Hell ). Bands on the line-up were: Lead Into Gold, Clock DVA and Front Line Assembly. We stayed at Aloft Downtown Atlanta.
Our dog, Rosey accompanied us on our ATL adventure. On the way down to ATL, we stopped at the Buc-ee's Calhoun location in Adairsville, GA. ( we also stopped again on our way back home ) Once we made it into the city, we checked into our hotel room before the show.
Ended up Ubering over to the venue. Didn't have to wait in line ( much at all ). I got a High Noon seltzer and found a spot in front of the mixing board. They were playing Autechre's Tri Repetae ++ over the PA before the show.
The 1st band to take the stage was Lead Into Gold ( Paul Barker ). Then the 2nd band was Clock DVA. After a short time, Paul Barker came out to the mercy booth and was signing vinyl and posing for selfies. I purchased his latest album, "Knife The Ally" on vinyl and he signed it and my vinyl copy of "Age of Reason" ( his 1st album ) as we chatted. Then we got someone in line to take a couple photos. Then I went back to my spot and watched the rest of Clock DVA's set. I got a 2nd High Noon seltzer and found a closer spot closer to the stage. The last band to perform for the evening was Front Line Assembly. They played a set list of their Wax Trax! era albums. ( even played one of the Cyberaktif track, "Nothing Stays" as their Encore ) After the show, I got an Uber back to the hotel room. We stayed up for a bit and watched The Big Bang Theory on Nick-at-Nite. Got up after 9am, gathered our stuff, and checked out. Got on the road taking a more casual drive. Making a couple pit stops along the way.

It has been freezing for a couple of days/nights in a row, freezing canals up. As the coldwave (at least 10 consecutive frosty days) lasts until today, I decided to go out and get my share of Frozen Canals.
A speedskating tournament was held on the Keizersgracht, but I wasn't too sure it was the kind of event I would like to attend. This is my only attempt, and at this point, both Ineke and me were freezing our behinds off, and decided to call it a day.
Amsterdam has been called the "Venice of the North" for its more than one hundred kilometres of canals, about 90 islands and 1,500 bridges. The three main canals, Herengracht, Prinsengracht, and Keizersgracht, dug in the 17th century during the Dutch Golden Age, form concentric belts around the city, known as the grachtengordel. Alongside the main canals are 1550 monumental buildings. From: wikipedia, this article also features information on this particular canal; Prinsengracht
Amsterdam (pronounced /ˈæmstərdæm/; Dutch [ɑmstərˈdɑm]) is the capital and largest city of the Netherlands, located in the province of North Holland in the west of the country. The city, which had a population (including suburbs) of 1.36 million on 1 January 2008, comprises the northern part of the Randstad, the sixth-largest metropolitan area in Europe, with a population of around 6.7 million. From: wikipedia.
A very unique opportunity and location for a self portrait.
Place: Prinsengracht near Rozengracht/Westermarkt (Amsterdam, Netherlands)
Weather: Clear and sunny, -5 degrees C
Reason: A very rare scene, ice skaters on the canals of Amsterdam. But after a cold wave of 10 days with temperatures far below zero it became reality. The last time it was possible to skate on some of the Amsterdam canals was in 1997. Will we have to wait another 15 years to take these photos?

The two main ponds in the Jardin des Tuileries are frozen in the cold wave of February 2012. I love the colors of the sky and buildings just before sunset and the magic blue hour.
Jardin des Tuileries
The Jardin des Tuileries is a public garden located between the Louvre Museum and the Place de la Concorde in the 1st arrondissement of Paris. Created by Catherine de Medicis as the garden of the Tuileries Palace in 1564, it was first opened to the public in 1667, and became a public park after the French Revolution. In the 19th and 20th century, it was the place where Parisians celebrated, met, promenaded, and relaxed.
