Ice on the IJmeer

This Sunday was the last day we were able to ice-skate on the Dutch waters/ice. Even the IJmeer (see here) was covered by a skateble layer of ice. Just before sunset I was able to make these photographs.

This first photograph really shows the beauty of winter in my opion. I love the cold colours. The next photos were taken lying flat down on the ice, using my Canon EF 17-40mm L f/4 USM wide angle lens. I managed to capture this beautiful wind influenced ice structure.

I love the Winter.
