HaraldL Posted January 10, 2009 Share #1 Posted January 10, 2009 Advertisement (gone after registration) Today about 75,000 people in the Netherlands went on for tours like this (and that's a lot for our country). It's not always this beautiful weather here. 24mm elmar, iso 160 / 5.6 / 1/750 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

elansprint72 Posted January 10, 2009 Share #6 Posted January 10, 2009 Harald, I thought that it was some while back. I have old photos of a local (small) lake and accounts of the "annual skating competitions"; as far as I can remember (I'm 57 ) this lake has only frozen enough for skating on 3 or 4 occasions in my lifetime. Last week-end it had about 15mm ice. Global warming/climate change??? If so, hardly a new event. Any more shots? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
