Nederland - Blokzijl, Giethoornsche Meer

Emjoying a proper Dutch winter during the ‘Blokzijler Merentocht’, an ice skating tour of 35 km’s on the lakes in northwest Overijssel and through the nature reserve ‘De Wieden’. Due to bad ice conditions this tour (January 2009) was ‘halfway’ interrupted by officials and police.

Goeie ouwe tijden zijn er om te koesteren Jaap. Dit jaar zit het er helaas weer niet in en ik mis de sneeuw ook wel een beetje.... In 't midden des lands weinig tot niets gevallen.

Jouw foto geeft prachtig deze Nederlandse traditie weer.

Groet, Christien.

Wij hebben ook weinig sneeuw gehad; heb wel m'n portie gekregen tijdens onze wintersportvakantie in Oberstdorf (D).

Ein schönes rotes Highlight auf dem Eis. Da laufen ja wirklich viele Menschen, hoffentlich ist es dick genug.

Die Leute laufen nicht, es sind Schlittschuhlaufers.
Das Eis war später nichtdich genug und man musste dann vom Eis.

I always wanted to do this. I skated in the canals in Ottawa, Canada, but they were lower than the streets in most parts, so there was little to no view.
