Icy river

Some ice in Amsterdam had to be broken because ships have to go through. This is the river Amstel with the Skinny Bridge. It is since 15 years that there is so much ice in the rivers and canals. We still have temperatures of -11 C (12.2 F) at night.

  1. Excellent photo of what is happening with winter in your part of the world. Even though it has turned cold overnight winter has been easy here.

  4. Dat laat een mooi stukje Amsterdam zien. Ja er moet ook nog gevaren worden natuurlijk. Gelukkig hebben ze de Amstel nog.
    Fijn weekend nog!

  6. Wow, that's so interesting to see! That's a long time since you've had ice. And I love the photo below with people skating on the canals. I never knew they froze.

  7. Broken ice, a scandal, I hope it is only on that river and that the other canal keep their skating glory.
