We had one day of snow in the beginning of February and it would not stay, so I had a walk through the town to preserve it in this way at least.

I like it too, well done!
Nice!
It’s a real Wim Pieck picture
The scene is beautiful with the graphic impression and depth. The person with the umbrella as a “unifying point” and the falling snow in the front, makes it a great picture.
O ja, I remember! Hier zie je de eerste uur von de sneeuwval,
de eerste schoen- en fietssporen op de verse sneeuw, en je voelt je al een beetje veranderd door de metamorfose van je werkelijkheid rondom, en ineens wordt het zo stil als het sneeuwt, dat vind ik steeds zo bijzonder mooi. Deze stemming geeft dit foto van de kleine straat in Zutphen fijn weer!
Op deze sneeuwdag stuurde ik enkele vrienden het volgende gedicht von Joannes Reddingius toe:
De witte sneeuw, in zachte val
Gestoven heinde en verre
Uit onafzienbre hemelhal
Als kleine sterre aan sterre,
Heeft stadig dalend toegespreid
Al de onbegaanbre wegen,
‘k Wist niet dat mij was toegezeid
Zo’n schone winterzegen….
What a lovely scene. It could be here in Boston. We’ve finally had our first real snowfall of the season.
Very nice picture.
Kind of nostalgic character.
A very beautiful picture, very calm,a real ephemeral “winter blessing”, as I think the poem above says.
I can almost hear the silence.
Snow in Holland seems extra special, like stepping back in time.
All feedback is greatly appreciated!
