Holland on Ice

The last days/weeks its been cold ... very cold in the here, the Netherlands.
Nice weather (sunny, no rain), but cold (all day below zero). And fortunately I'm not in the south ... they are getting a lot of snow and as low as -17!

So ... cold weather + water = ICE!
And dutch people are crazy for ice skating. Last time it was posible on "natural" ice was some 10 years ago, so they were all expecting it. A pitty the most tradition "elfsteden tocht", a very long ice circuit in the north of the netherlands, could not be setup. It was not cold enough :)

Some pictures of Loosdrecht lakes, all turned into ice :)
