Not really knowing what to expect from today's sunset I went to this well-known location at the Paterswoldsemeer near Groningen.And just when I thought colours would not really be showing off today the sky was set on fire for just a few minutes.Actually, only a few minutes later the lake was fully coverd in mist, as visible on some other photos in the gallery.
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...
