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.
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.

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?
An image of a flowering cherrytree.
During the cherry-blossom in Burgenland, Austria that image was taken a few days ago at the cherryblossom cycle route. By now the coldwave has probably ended that.
Ein Foto vom Kirschblütenradweg im Burgenland von vor ein paar Tagen. Mittlerweile hat die Kältewelle die Blüte vermutlich schon beendet.

Frozen canals are not only for ice skaters, some have discovered an alternative bike route. Slippery but fun!

Cold Waves III - September 26-27, 2014
What an awesome event. Find info about what it's all about here:
Otherwise, it was great capturing a bunch of my favorite bands over the weekend in Chicago, no less. The main reason I went was for Front 242, but was lucky to catch Die Krupps, Author & Punisher, and many more.
Every photo shot with a Canon 6D and a Sigma 50mm f/1.4 - mostly at ISO10000+. Really not a ton of post other than some very slight noise reduction and color balancing.
