Winterwonderland

We are experiencing the coldest spell of the last 15 years. In the north of the Netherlands they are going crazy over the Elfstedentocht (eleven cities tour) a scating event of over 200km long with an estimated 16000 competetors. The last tour was in 1997. Hopefully it will happen this year. The ice has to be a minimum of 15cm thick. Meanwhile this weather creates winterwonderlands:

This picture has been taken close to our house, as you can see, virgin ice. Still too dangerous.

The club, Utfotocollectief, has decided we are going to make an exhibition about characteristic dikes in our part of the world: Zeeuws Vlaanderen. For uniformity all members will have to produce 4 to 6 black and white photos. The exhibition will take place in June in Hulst.
Some of the pictures of mine for consideration:
