As the sun sets, colourful clouds seem to play with the iconic Watchman mountain that rises high above the Virgin River.

This little stool is probably a great spot to enjoy the wide views of Lauwersmeer National Park. This morning though, sturdy winds came in from the east while temperatures were well below zero. Had to litterally hold the tripod to prevent it from falling over. Siberian conditions in NL on the 23rd of March...

Today will be remembered as a Siberian *spring* day in the Netherlands. With temperatures well below zero and a major wind chill factor made it feel like -15 degrees Celcius.So, this is what they call global warming… Once I arrived at this location at Ezumakeeg, I needed some time to make up my mind: give it a go or go straight back home, nice and warm. I choose option one and was treated with an, I think well deserved, spectacular sunrise over the frozen water.During the shoot, where I was standing on a small hill catching the > 50 km/h wind straight in my face, I left the spot a couple of times to be able to go out of the wind. This was the only way to keep going without my face and fingers getting frozen…So, a very cold sunrise today, but I;m pleased with the results...
