As usual, in January, we went to
Oostvaardersplassen, a nature reserve located between the cities of Almere and Lelystad. The outstanding
Markermeer lake Winter views - a mix of water, ice and snow - never stop to amazing me. I love Oostvaardersplassen!
Each year, the landscape offers breathtaking views and incredible snapshots opportunities.
In spite of the cold - and yesterday was freezing because of the wind -, here and there, photography lovers try to take their best snapshots. Not always easy. Yesterday, I felt my hands burning with the cold - I had forgotten my gloves without tips in another jacket.
I had to stop shooting once in a while, to put on my fleece gloves to warm up a bit and then, again, take them off, so I could try another shot. Looking at the peer, I took my chance - in spite of the wind - and went there for a walk. For some moments, when I was trying to shoot, I felt like if I was in a shaking boat.
We really needed to warm up by then and we drove afterwards to
Almere Poort, looking for a cafe. We spotted the
Cafetaria De Heerlijkeid and we stopped there to enjoy a coffee and a toast. Delicious! It felt so good!
I would have liked to take more pictures yesterday,
but I decided to warm my hands up, instead, as you may understand ;-)
I hope you have enjoyed this visit and I wish you all a wonderful week ahead!
Stay well and warm!
