Vrolijk's place

I was on my way to work on a snowy and rainy day when I passed this nice scene on the Laan van Nieuw Oost Indie in The Hague. Luckily I had my camera with me (I should pack it more often) and I shot a few pictures. This particular one was cropped to a panoramic view and converted to greyscale. I reduced the blues a bit to add contrast to the sky.

Taken just outside Leiderdorp, a village bordering on a large polder. New houses are being built and slowly the quiet of the little farm on the right is being disturbed.

Another shot of the rare phenomenon in the Netherlands called snow.

We don't get snow that often and when we do you should get there as soon as possible. This is early morning, with the sun peeking thorugh the frosted trees.

Early morning.

On the central square in Brussels a concert was held during the evenings, accompanied by a light show projected onto city hall. Large snowflakes are seen drifting down here.

Plaisir d'Hivers winter fair in Brussels.

The latest in lighting and as of yet only to be found in Leiden: Light fountains. Just be sure not to stand on top of one.
(no Photoshop required; just swivel the camera down in the last 1/3 of exposure)

Another night time favourite. Drag along with the subject. I made a few, but this one was the best.
