Summer time

We have the most wonderful weather here with temperatures up to 30 degrees C (86F). At the IJssel-lake was a competition between sailboats.

The brave ones took a swim in the, in my opinion, still cold lake.

At the horizon you can see the fortress island Pampus which I visited a few weeks ago at a cold rainy day (look here). You never know what weather it will be here when you have made plans before.

  1. Sun, wind and green hedges--what could be finer?

  2. Just to be out in the fresh air enjoying the sun on your face, after a long winter, just makes one feel good. I could go for a dip myself. Lovely photos and brightly coloured.

    Glad you all had a lovely Pentecost weekend! Indeed, for trusting the weather in The Netherlands and making plans for outdoor acitivity is being very brave.

  6. Ever since SC's post the other day, now I am more aware of the flat horizon you see all the time.

  13. 30C is the perfect summer temperature Marianne, although the water in the lake somehow does look a little chilly :) Love to see the colourful saiks of the yachts on the horizon, such a summery image.
