Ice fun!

Just when we thought spring was in the air, a Siberian cold with freezing temperatures of -7 C arrived. The Amsterdam canals were frozen within two or three nights. The Dutch people are raised with skating from a young age and the skating fever was on in the whole country.

The ice didn't look so very good in my opinion, but a lot of people couldn't resist to put a step on a frozen canal.

Even on skates you need your i-phone!

The ice got worse during the afternoon, more water on it and today the temperatures are above zero and the fun is over.

Always a gentleman.

  3. Een beeld dat we niet zo vaak zien. Het ijs ziet er wel erg hobbelig uit!

  4. I like the last skater - no iphone, and skating along the canal in a dignified manner.

  5. Incroyable images Marianne! It looks so weird seeing the boats there unable to move! The last shot was a fabulous capture!

  6. I would be a bit worried about falling through the ice into the frozen water. You must be glad the ice age is over Marianne.

  7. These are such great shots. Everyone seems to be enjoying themselves. However, I agree that ice doesn't look to me like it's very stable. I'm glad it help up so everyone could have some fun. Love that gentleman on the ice.

  8. Fun but no sun. People are enjoying the iced canal. I see the wee dog even made an appearance on the ice. Love the last shot, a man enjoying skating just because he can.

  12. It's good to see people on the ice but it looks pretty thin and there's water on the ice?
