Joy at the canals

When instability mixes with fear and anger, it sometimes culminates in resignation. Now and then, this makes it hard to keep cool. Seeing positive elements becomes challenging as frustration sets in due to an alleged lack of outlook.

Yet, memorable moments of joy are always crossing ways, sometimes hiding behind triviality. One needs to get up and rub the grey veil out of the eyes for merely seeing them. This way, it is possible to glory the little thingsโ€™ joy, like the beauty of frozen water falling from the sky on a grey, cold winter day.

Snow in Utrecht

If you're looking for a magical winter wonderland experience, Utrecht in January is the perfect destination! This photo captures the stunning beauty of the Canals of Utrecht (Oudegracht) covered in freshly fallen snow. It's a rare sight in the Netherlands, where snow usually melts away quickly. But when it does stick around, it transforms the city into a fairy tale scene that's simply unforgettable. And what better way to explore this enchanting landscape than on a classic Dutch bike? Don't miss out on this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to witness Utrecht at its wintry best!

Hi there, I'm Stefanie, the photographer, and author of the blog post you're reading now.
