Winter wonderland in the city of Zeist!

It was a nice and warm day today! The month of march was also a record breaking warm. It was the warmest march on the planet ever! According the news it was the tenth month in a row that we broke that heat record! So lets cool off a bit with some snow pictures!

I came across these winter pictures of the city of Zeist and I realised I have never posted them! So with that news of the temperature I thought it was a good one to post them!

I started out in the forest that day and ended upp in the city! I make photo's of the city of Zeist for an online magazine so snow in the city is a nice subject for a series!
That is the city hall, build in the year 1877!

And next to the city there is a park, the Walkartpark!
There is our national memorial to remember the second word war! Every year on may 4, we remember all the people who died in WW@ but also died in other conflicts and peace missions!

There is a nice pond in the middle of the park! You cant swim in it but it's very good for all kinds of water birds who life there!

In this area are many old buildings and big estates that use to be to churches and wealthy people from the city of Utrecht!
And this building is the castle of Zeist, Slot Zeist, and it was build in the year 1745 buy a brotherhood of the Moravian Evangelical Church, whose members are also called the Hernhutters!

That's so true.

I remember one time when I was in my early twenties, which was a very long time ago, I worked a night job. It had snowed, but they hadn't closed, so I rode with my mother in law, who worked there also. After we got there, they told us they were closing and to go home before the snow got deeper. I lived at the top of a hill, so I told her to let me out at the bottom and I would walk the rest of the way. It was dark except for the street lamps. Everything was white and beautiful and it was SO quiet. Partway up I stopped and just stood there for a few minutes, soaking up the beauty of it all and listening to the quiet and I thought "I'm never going to forget this".... and I haven't.

The quiet is so very amazing.

Gorgeous! The alley with the cyclist, the 1st sheep image, and the landscape over "In this area" are the best!

These winter pictures feel so damn fresh with all the crazy heat we are facing lately in more parts of Europe. Way too warm for this period of the year!

The design of this building looks like some modern ones and a lot of people won’t know that it was built in 1877
That’s awesome
There are times when I think about how cold some other countries are and I may not be able to cope cos I’m allergic to cold but I really wish to experience it
