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...
The sun sets behind the village of Hoogkerk on a summer evening. The Dutch soccer team was about to kick-off against Brasil in the 3rd place final so it was nice and quiet here at the very border of the city of Groningen.
