So folks,

Here we are... finally bathing in sunshine and enjoying nice, warm days...
And I'm taking you all back to December 22nd...
We had a misty and very cold night then and all was white as we woke up. Took out my backpack and went into town. In the park near the IJsselmeer I shot quite a few pics and on the way home I stopped over when I saw this beautiful scene.
You can clearly see that this shot was taken early in the morning... The light was gorgeous!

Just framed it for you and added a bit of contrast.

Enjoy!

Cheers,
Anneke

Hoi Anneke,

Deze is erg fraai. Mooi gekadert tussen de twee met rijp behangen bomen. Mooi strijklicht op de brug en gebouw links. Compositie is goed. Wellicht iets meer kleursaturatie maar das persoonlijk.

Groeten,

Edwin

Nou Anneke, gauw even bij mijn theme gezet.

Het zweet staat op mijn rug na deze tweede moederdag, heel gek om deze mooie opname te zien - inderdaad fantastisch licht, maar ook een heel mooi onderwerp. Stijlvol!

Hi Anneke
Beautiful winter scenery.
regards

Hello Anneke, it seems strange looking at a picture of Winter time now that the weather has turned sunny and warm.
I like the soft effect you have achieved with the frost covered trees.
Lovely composition.
Tfs, regards Jean.

Hello Anneke.
Nice one I must say. Even in spring time looks great. I like quiet water on the composition. Very well composed and presented.
My regards.

Helemaal toppie meid, ben trots op je!
Hans

Hiya Anneke

Well I will be quite honest I dont mind teh cold if it gives a beautiful view like this one. What a stunning scene. So sharp with excellent depth and superb colours too. Superb shot here Anne with lovely contrasting black framing too.

TFS regards Helen

Hello Anneke,

The combination of early morning sun, blue sky and hoar frost is a magical mixture! Excellent composition with the little slope leading the eyes towards the arched and shadowy bridge taking up a third whilst the silvery trees and sky take up the other two thirds.
The trees make a good natural frame whilst the building adds balance.

Kind regards,
Bev :-)

Hi Anneke,

I fully agree with you . . if I were there, I will capture this scene too . . it's so lovely . .
Lighting from the side add beauty to this image . .
Beautifully composed . .

Tfs,

Fijne compositie met mooie kleuren. Zeer rustgevende foto.
Groetjes

Hey Anneke,

Hebben we een paar weken lekker zomerweer en dan ga jij winter-foto's plaatsen :-). Dit is prachtig. Ik ken Hoorn eigenlijk helemaal niet. Ligt het dicht bij Kampen?! Daar ben ik over een paar weken. Als het in de buurt is zal ik de camera eens mee nemen.

Groeten!
Dennis

Hello Anneke,
Yeah, I remember that morning in the Netherlands!
Not that I was there, but my guess is there was never taken more images on any December day ever... and seeing this flashback it is easy to understand why!
A wonderful atmosphere created by the combination of frozen vegetation and amazing light!
Greetings,
Pablo -

Beautiful colour and light Anneke. Yesterday we had frost but now where near as heavy as this you show. Nicely composed and very good detail. TFS,
David

Many thanks for your comment on ‘Birthday Wishes for Karen’

Ja, even schrikken, dat wel. Zit hier op een warme zolderkamer, krijg ik ineens Grolsch Winterbok gepresenteerd op m'n buis !!
Maar, prachtige opname, dat zeker. Bijna onhollands .... middeleeuws toch wel. Knap gedaan.
groeten,
Joop!

Hallo Anneke
Wat wil eens mens nog meer dan zulke foto's neerzetten ..
Schitterende opname .. een tien
Groet
John
